Last Friday, I attended a conference at California State University, Monterey Bay, which meant I stayed overnight at a hotel near the campus. I always treat a hotel room as a vacation even if only for one night. I left early enough for the drive to also spend an afternoon at Fort Ord State Beach. I breathed in the ocean breezes while Preet took the photos below as we strolled along the 4 mile beach.
This state beach was a lot less peopled and definitely not swimmable.
I love that Preet's photos captured the shades of indigo and aqua.
And looking back on her photos, the shades of blues and greens and turquoises are stunning.
Some day I'll paint a watercolor of a beachscape.
I thought the sand dunes pretty spectacular as well.
It's still spring, and so the flora is a riot of color too.
I then made my very brief getaway to Schooner's restaurant in Cannery Row, where we enjoyed early evening views of Monterey Bay.
I'm even loving the shades of gray in the marine layers.
And this panoramic view pleased me as well.
I like the perspective this girl provides here to see how expansive the views were.
I am definitely coming back to Monterey Bay, which feels more rugged and less touristy than some parts of San Francisco Bay.
