One definition of to take wing is to become joyful. Perhaps, these ocean birds flying over the Asilomar State Marine Reserve may not be able to smile, but I like to think their spirits wore joyful smiles. I know that's how I felt as the Husband and I took wing and wandered around Monterey yesterday.
Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

I want to take pictures of birds, the cranes, flying in tandem over my house every morning, they were really amazing, and in the evening, sadly but still nature, it was the crows flying the opposite direction.
ReplyDeleteYou had a wonderful day in a beautiful country with a lovely man, there is nothing more you could wish for
So true, Lisa. Our day was our wish come true for the moment. :-)
DeleteThe rocky coast, the lone tree, the lines of birds passing over the waves. That's Monterrey!
