Typical Day in the World of Cambria

Little Sur Inn and the Moonstone Landing have beautiful new facades and I was asked to take new photos for their brochure. It was the perfect task for my frame of mind. After a flurry of work and errands, I realized I needed a bit of fresh air to clear my head and put myself on track for the balance of the day, so I ventured down to Moonstone Beach to inhale, relax and shoot.

On my way home I sighted one of our Deer friends and took the shot through my car window.

Is there anyone else out there who finds the Moonstone boardwalk an alternate form of therapy when life keeps throwing you curves?

Spring in Cambria

Cambria is well into spring, with flowers blooming and the weather conducive to long hours in my adirondack chair on the back deck. Here are a few of our neighbors who hang around the house and nearby boardwalk.

We enjoy deer cruising the streets and yards, raccoons rummaging for goodies, fox lurking in the shadows, squirrels jumping from tree to tree, dozens of birds (they particularly like our bird bath), turkeys on parade, an occasional skunk usually evident by their trace of perfume, on rare occasions a sunbathing mountain lion, the moles and voles... not so much we see them and not so much fun to see.

Our forests and shores are inhabited by such a variety of interesting wildlife that often surprise you when they come out to play within a few feet of where you sit or walk.

Have you enjoyed any particular interesting wildlife sightings? Share your experiences with me. I love to hear from visitors and locals alike regarding their personal Cambria joys.

One of the unique elements of the Cambria California area is the absolutely beautiful forests that surround the villages and meet the sea. You can hike to your hearts content through the forest down to the beach, along the bluff and back again. Enjoy the wonderful combination of trees and shore, sights and sounds that offer a calming and extraordinary taste of nature not found anywhere else on the Central Coast.

Cambria Chamber Showcase & A Craft Show

I have been associated with the local Cambria Chamber of Commerce since I moved here in 1994. I have always believed in supporting the Chamber of Commerce, within my community, for so many reasons... not the least of which is to have multiple opportunities to get to know the business owners and operators who can make our community successful, or fail. Fortunately our Cambria Chamber of Commerce is viable and strong with members who care about our community and constantly strive to make it a better place to live and play. This month the Veterans' Hall will be busy.... on June 17, the Chamber offers a "Business Showcase" with many of the businesses offering displays and giving away treats in an effort to share what they can do for you. There will also be a "Craft Faire" over the weekend of the 11th in the parking lot.... and don't forget the Piedras Blancas Light Station and Hearst Castle tours going on throughout the week.

My photo of the week shares a small contingency of a much larger group that decided to meet down the road from our home. There were at least 18 to 20 bucks who took over an empty lot and just "hung out" for awhile before splitting up and going back to their does and fawns. Go figure, networking goes on from cyberspace to forest.
