Ready for Spring

The official calendar start of spring

is still a couple of weeks away,

but I am sooooo ready

for it to be here 

right now.

!!!

!

Seriously.

This pic was taken along the recreational path

in Pacific Grove, California,

between Lover's Point

and Point Pinos

where Monterey Bay

meets the Pacific Ocean.

The botanicals

are iceplant in bloom.

Always stunning.

Old Stone Portal

A stone portal

probably more than two hundred years old

near one of the adobes close to 

Monterey, California's

Custom House Plaza.

Also close by:

Fisherman's Wharf,

Portola Plaza,

a business complex called Heritage Harbor.

A walk down the bicycle/recreational path

will take you to Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium,

Lover's Point, San Carlos Beach, the Coast Guard Pier, and more.
