The Bit About Chasing Whales

Okay, I’m kind of a daydreamer as it is. But over this last week, I’ve had my head in an extra cloud – THE cloud, actually, where my digital photos reside! I haven’t marked or tagged them – which means when I need, say, pics for a post about whale watching (which this one will […]

The “On Your Left” Bit

New Year’s greetings to all! Channeling a pretty moment and memory to start 2021 off right!  Granted, this will be a cautious and careful start for me. The COVID situation here in LA is currently very serious – and the road to normalcy still stretches on quite a ways. But even as dining options remain […]

The Adventures in Transport Chairing Bit

I can never pass up the opportunity for a good view – and in my travels, I’ve been known to go to pretty great lengths to capture one! If my 89-year-old mum is journeying with me (as regular readers know Mummy often is), she’s always game to go along for an extra ride – quite […]

The ‘Twas Another Year Bit

A Merry December to you!  Thought I’d attempt (in the style of the Night Before Christmas poem as I did for last December) to give a rhyming wrap-up of my recent travels and adventures, working backward through the year!  Also in keeping with my last effort, there’s not a New Year’s resolution in sight… Here […]

THE BIT WITH THE STATIONARY WHALE

To me, the town of Cambria is a little slice of heaven on the California coast!  It’s got everything I want for a getaway:  small-town feel; gorgeous views; trails to wander; and Wally the Water Treading Whale!  Okay, not that last thing (but more about it later). I first visited Cambria over a decade ago, and I’ve […]
