A great first day in California included a trip to Newport Beach, the strand where nobody was surfing, and Balboa Island. It was a lot of fun to spend a day outside before three days of sitting in workshops.
A fluffy bird at the pier! There were lots of people fishing off the pier, competing with a whole lot of pelicans.
It was a foggy morning, but it burned off by afternoon.
This seal was much nicer than the big fatty Tom and I saw in Astoria a few days before our wedding. We actually saw seals and dolphins near the strand. There were maybe half a dozen dolphins, but all my pictures just look like sharks - dorsal fins and no jumping.
What a treat to be standing next to Momma in the middle of March!
And yes, you can take the girl out of Oregon, but there is still that bit in me that thinks the only natural thing to do around a cold body of water is get your toes wet!
