These colorful invertebrate animals live along the California Coast and have tentacles that fluoresce, absorbing ultraviolet light and shining it back as visible light. This HDR shot uses 3 bracketed images and was taken at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Copyright: Ken Sweezey/Sweezey Pictures

We saw 3 kinds of dolphins during our whale watching cruise on Monterey Bay. These are Risso Dolphins, just a small part of their large pod of 100 or more of them.
Monterey Cypress, Fog. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
A gnarled Monterey Cypress tree tops a rocky promontory on a foggy morning at Point Lobos.
Finally, this should be the last in the four-photograph series of images that focus on this gnarled and weathered tree standing on top of a rocky prominence along the exposed north shore of Point Lobos. The tree is always impressive, but I was fortunate to catch it on a morning when persistent coastal fog was thinning and creating glowing light that was just slightly directional.
Of the four interpretations of this scene, this one fits with the earlier portrait-mode version as one of the two most conventional views. In both cases the tree is clearly the primary subject, more tightly framed in the portrait mode interpretation and including a bit more background in this landscape mode version. (The other two used wider formats and included additional elements of the larger scene — a clearer view of the white rocks and cormorants in one case, and some nearby trees in the other.)

Stone history in California: the simple and elegant colonial facade of the Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo, the oldest in the state.
Lights and shadows of Carmel: the silhouette of a girl stepping through large wooden doorways against the street light.

Quality is mediocre, as I was stopped at a light and caught this just as I needed to move as the light turned green. Windshield wasn't real clean either.
Remember Me
by Margaret Mead
“To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea,
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity,
Remember me.
Remember me in your heart:
Your thoughts, and your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.”
