@Montery~ Bay Aquarium and Lover's Point!!

This was a little while ago~ from July 14th, 2012

This is a photo I took of sand dollars at

~The Monterey Bay Aquarium~

we went once about 8 years ago. 

This time with Sheon, Yuriko and one of Zen's basketball teammates Jared~
Very cool and really famous place, right by where Zen's going to collegehttp://www.montereybayaquarium.org/

Yuriko's waiting for her kiss from her Prince Charming?!

The girls are so gorgeous but the jellyfish are SO COOL!

I haven't cared for wild life being held in captivity~

 but the jellyfish and these "creatures/plant life" I really did appreciate.

Speaking of wild life: those poor guys have to have an audience for their wild session!

This below was made from recycled materials I do believe. 

The kanji in the middle is "mercury".  Art with a message

Jared also is going to college at MPC. He took us to this Lover's Point. One of his absolute favorite places in Monterey, he said. We got lucky to have him as our chauffeur for the day AND to have a sunny day at that! (Often it's foggy)

mid July already~ summer's mid way over~ already!

One day recently I went from Santa Cruz to the Apple store in Los Gatos. The parking lot I used, I had to walk through a building, and inside was this:

From the doorway, sitting there on the sink was a real, live, creamy colored duck.

There was this sign "Pete likes to visit from a distance, please don't touch..." 

I found out that he lives there~ in a spot in the back of the shop.

While I was there he turned around and pooped directly into the sink.
He doesn't always do that tho, I was told.

June 16th and 18th were Zen's and Sheon's birthdays. It was a trip, in our yard, when it was Zen's birthday I saw ONE white poppy, by Sheon's birthday there was a second one... I'd never seen white poppies before

For She-chan's birthday I did get to making a cheesecake, like the old days. 

         

I tried to put together a bird bath, cause birds kept flying around when I watered. But I've not seen a single birdie bathe. I've changed the location... hoping the birds indulge.

Deer chowed down on our tomato plants, and all the broccoli.

Since then, Taka's been working at adding more poles and doors around the garden area. It's looking so great~ I wish photos could do justice!
