Santa Cruz on a tuesday afternoon. Rod had meetings up this way (about an hours drive south of San Fran) so we drove up monday, stayed over, and made our way back to Bakersfield via Fresno, it was a nice trip. Someone seems to have built a sun shelter on the beach, made me think of the movie "Castaway".

Spotted this lonely surfer out in the bay, he was headed to the harbor, there were no waves coming his way so he was in for a long "paddle".














This little bird was one of three, each on their own boulder, overlooking the water.
