The area of Pacific Grove, Monterey and Carmel is so lovely and SPRING was in the air.
"Pride of Madeira" (Echium candicans) is endemic to the island of Madeira, but is grown in areas with similar climate around the world. It comes in various shades of blue and violet.

Waves continuously pound at the rocks along Monterey Bay.
Our Empty Spools classes ended on Easter Sunday and I saw this family group doing an Easter Egg Hunt in the ice plant along the walking trails of Monterey Bay.
There are always deer around the grounds of Asilomar and throughout Pacific Grove. This one was behind the Nautilus classroom and seems to be asking, "Are you looking at me?" There once were many raccoons on the grounds, but I haven't seen one for a number of years.
