Pacific Grove feels like home. As a person who grew up in a military family, home was usually where you were at the moment. The minute Phil and I moved here, we both fell in love with it. This morning I started with a walk around "downtown". PG is a small town with a big heart.
I've been participating as a Google Map Local Guide. I take images, do reviews and put them on the map. It's been fun for me and sometimes a view can be the pat on the back that is needed. This morning I took photos to add to the collection of images that I have been putting on. I can see Phil's smile as I told him what I have been up to. He would tease me about being a "guide", but in reality he was always my biggest support in everything.
Around town - It was a drizzly, foggy start, but the sun broke through and it ended up being a pretty day.
Then to the jetty, I'm not sure where this gull found this fish but he seemed perplexed what to do with it.
The cormorant with the artsy nest has been taking good care of her single hatchling.
The neighbor's nests aren't as pretty but they have more chicks.
The chicks that were hatched 2 weeks ago are now as big as the parents.
The scene below is just under the boat dock.
I've been seeing the Osprey all week long, what a majestic bird.
I decided to go look at the whale that is on the beach at Asilomar. As I was walking through the dunes there was a photographer taking photos, he asked if I saw it. He pointed out coyotes laying in a clearing.
The whale was further in on the beach than yesterday, starting to break down and not smelling too great. The baleen was cool to look at.
Noelle went to the beach with me, we sat, watched the waves and surfers.
Phil's birthday will be Monday, I'm trying to keep myself busy, allowing the feelings that are coming up and am being gentle with myself. Last year at this time the kindness of others was unbelievable. I hung all the cards Phil got for his birthday, on the door in front of the bed, where he could see them. In the last few days, I read to him, we told each other I love you and it was the hardest good bye I've ever had to say.
For Phil
I miss you.
The love we shared was incredible.
I still feel married, I continue to love you as much as I always have.
You were the love of a lifetime, for that I'm grateful.
But I can't make any sense of it, I doubt I ever will....
I'm following your lead and continue to appreciate the beauty that surrounds me.
I love you and always will.
