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.

"Half" a Rainbow
As the Husband and I were walking this morning, we spied "half" a rainbow. It was about to melt into the light of the day.
"I wonder where it's raining," said the Husband.
Ten minutes later, we heard what sounded like thunder, or, as the Husband put it, someone dropping some wooden planks. It had to be a humongous giant then with very, very thick slabs of wood.
But, looking ahead, we could see the clouds crying rain over the mountains that kept Cienega Valley within.

A Little Bit of Hawaii
There's this tree along Highway 25 in the hamlet of Tres Pinos that always makes me think of Hawaii. If I look at the tree from certain spots, I'm reminded of the ancient Hawaiian kings sporting their amazing helmets and feather capes. And, from other viewpoints, I can almost believe that beyond that tree is the ocean.

The Farm aka Bertuccio's Market
As you're heading south (towards Tres Pinos) on Highway 25, look ahead for the pink house on the right, just before you get to Union Road. There's a driveway a bit beyond the house that will lead you down to a longtime local farm stand known as Bertuccio's Market, aka The Farm. Another landmark to tell you where the driveway is this old truck.
The Farm is a good source to buy fresh local eggs and milk, as well as fresh veggies and gourmet olive oils, pickled veggies, jams, pasta, and such.The Farm features their own goods as well as products made by local agriculturists and food companies.

Moon Rising Over Hollister
I like to imagine that the black bird, possibly a crow, sitting on the lamp post on Meridian Street was enjoying the sight of the rising moon. I wonder if birds ever dream about one day going there.
