It's clear today in #Monterey #California. The Santa Cruz mountains are in sharp focus on the horizon.
We've got a marine layer here in #Monterey #California this morning.
I really like my job because I have coworkers who do incredibly bad ass things. Like blackwater diving and culturing jellyfish.
It's between light rain and heavy drizzle in #Monterey #California this morning. The sweatshirt business will be brisk down in the tourist zone.

Happy #footpathfriday and #Fensterfreitag Follow the #footpath to the #window at the end. It's an art gallery. I love to visit Carmel, it's so peaceful and charming. This painting is inspired by one of my visits.

Carmel Beach Sunset, watercolor 16x20
On a summer visit to Carmel, I was inspired to paint this in watercolor. I'll always remember standing there on the beach, watching the sunset. What a beautiful place.

Speaking of tacos, my favorite tacos in the Monterey area are:
Downtown: Lopez liquor store. All the tacos inside are great. Get some and go to the beach.
Near the aquarium: El Cantaro, a vegan taqueria. Spectacular. Everything is good. Speaking as a not vegan.
In Seaside: Seafood tacos at Barba Azul, with a rice plate. What I get when I’ve had a stressful day at work. With the cucumber agua fresca.
In Salinas: Tacos Pacheco
It rained overnight in #Monterey #California and it looks like there might be some showers floating around this morning. I guess summer isn't here quite yet!
