seasons in California

How do you know when it's Christmas in California? When there is a Santa hat on the bust of John Steinbeck. 

sunsets and waves

Some good cloud and wave action over the last week or so.

On my Californiaversary I spent the day walking from Cannery Row to downtown Monterey via the recreation trail, stopping to see the sea life along the way. 

And I sketched along the way.
