My Wanderings 2022 - Behind Cannery Row - Where the Bay meets the "Row"

I walk through Cannery Row several times a week.  "The row", is filled will history, shops and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  When  I walk, I take all the coastal access entries so that I get to the back of the buildings, small beaches and overlooks.  The views are fabulous!  

When the canneries were open, sardines crossed the streets through bridges.  They still line the streets and you can cross over Cannery Row in them. 

You can get behind Doc Ricketts lab.   Ed Ricketts was marine biologist, subject of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row and well......my history crush!  Swoon!

Slide back behind the buildings and it is magical!

The ocean comes right up to the buildings.

Behind the Monterey Bay aquarium.

There are a few remnants of the past that still exist.

I love to watch the waves hit the posts and walls that hold the buildings up.

I'm teaching myself how to edit video.  Noelle had been helping me, but her job is keeping her more than busy, so I'm teaching myself....

A work in progress, please check out my you tube channel.  

My Favorite Ten Images from Week 6 of My Wanderings - Feb 7 -Feb 13, 2022 - Birthdays, hats and personal growth

It was birthday week for my daughter Noelle and I.  We had quiet but very nice birthdays.  Next week we will take some time to do a mini road trip to celebrate.  I'm hoping that will open up the opportunity for some creative image taking.  I'm feeling the need for an adventure and a stirring of the ol inspiration.  Screw this pandemic, I'm sick of it!  Damn it!  

I feel like I'm in a place that I want to meld the Linda from before Phil was diagnosed with cancer, with the one that is coming out after losing him.  There has to be a middle ground here and I'm looking for the balance.  I feel like I'm still getting my legs after finishing 365 days of images, finding my way.

My morning walks continue to be a time to find peace...in fact I'm living for the mornings.

 

Spring is starting to show!

 

Beach walking continues everyday....

What's new??  # 6 of 64 new experiences in 2022

A new experience for each one of my years on the planet.

New hats!  I am currently growing a patch of hair where they did surgery on my head, I'm trying to make it fun and give it a chance to grow in.  Right now it is entertaining to watch it all happen.  I'm healing well and you are probably going to see a few more hats in the near future.  

I ran into a car show this week.  I stopped and just allowed myself to remember the love of my life, we never missed looking at a pretty car.

I miss and love you Phil.

Happy heavenly Valentine's Day.
