September 24th - Cici

Today is the 18th anniversary of my mother passing away. Not a great day for me, but not a terrible day either. At least I didn't cry the whole day! Only a few tears. Anyway, here's a shot of a cute dog names Cici, who was very sweet and kept trying to eat my shoes. And, a shot of the sunset. Unfortunately, the colors aren't as great in the photo as they were in person. Very rich orange tonight. Have a great weekend everyone!

January 8th - Asilomar Beach Sunset Panography

I found myself back in the general area of Ocean View Blvd. today, as the sun was setting. I got a great shot of the (very unattractive) foghorn, but when I saw how little of the sunset my camera was getting, I decided to do a panography instead. This is at the beach at Asilomar, in Pacific Grove. It's a huge tourist spot. There's a great wooden walkway for people, so they stay out of the marine sanctuary habitat and don't disturb the plants and animals there.
I know I've shown a lot of beach photos so far, and I will try harder to get other things in, but this was just too pretty. :) This is 13 different images! I love pano's! :)

I also drove down Cannery Row today, and it's changed a lot over the past couple of years. I thought it would make a good alternate photo, so here it is:

There are three overhead walkways here, two are fairly new. At the very end of the block is the Monterey Bay Aquarium. In between the two adult pedestrians, you can see the Portola sign. It's the old canning logo from Cannery Row's heyday.
