Nature Friday - Looking back to Monterey Bay

 

 

Rosy here, hangin with my Gnomies! Today, I thought I'd show you one some highlights of one of my trips to Monterey, CA!

 

We all know Arty's Ocean is in Monterey.

 

 

 

 

 

There are bunches of marine life. It is also the home of some big fish viewing place called the Monterey Bay Aquarium that Mama raves about.

 

 

 

But during the Spring and Summer there are some beautiful flowers too!

 

 

 

These "Pride of Madeira" are around every turn!

 

 

 

I have it on good authority they are a favorite hiding place of Gnomies.

 

 

 

 Birds also like to perch on them....

 

 

 

 

This little song sparrow seems to be 

thinking of what to sing next...or perhaps 

 he is composing his next song?

 

 

 

We also got to see this "Aloe Peri Peri" blooming. 

What beautiful red/orange flowers!!

 

 

 

 If you ever visit Monterey remember, the marine life may be the star attraction, but the flowers and birdies are pretty cool too!!

 

 

 

We hope everyone gets out to view some nature this weekend and remember...

 

Keeps your friends close, but keep your Gnomies closer!!
