I’m combining Mary’s Mosaic Monday with Smiling Sally’s Blue Monday this week. Please visit each site to see more blue and more mosaics.
Dear and I took a car trip up the California coast on Saturday to the communities of Morro Bay and Cambria. It was an amazing thing to see the Rock at Morro Bay that is called the Gibraltar of the Pacific. We were happy to get away from the heat and muggy skies of Southern California for the cooler marine skies in Central California. I’ll be showing more of my photos from both spots soon.
Happy Labor Day everyone…
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

I love photos from different parts of the country, especially coastal areas. These are beautiful! Great choice for a mosaic.
Your photos are quite beautiful. Your mosaic is similar to mine, only the boast in mine are of the miniature kind and my water isn’t coastal, it’s man made. Great shots. Sounds like a wonderful drive.
Oh my goodness, what beautiful vistas! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely images at Mosaic Monday. š
Oh great photo’s. I love Cambria and didn’t get there this year. So thanks for the photo trip!
Great photo’s! Love your mosaic!
Beautiful color and what a gorgeous view and day!
Gorgeous blue water and skies make lovely mosaic photos.
Beautiful blues, and that rock…. that’s pretty neat. I’ve never seen it before. EnJOY your day, too!
Love it! What a beautiful part of the state – and much cooler! Glad you guys had a good time.
Those gorgeous colors in your photos….they’re wonderful…all sorts of blues and the contrasting brown of the rocks were great…
I love the CA coast! We were in Cambria just about a month ago – it’s SO beautiful! ::Jill
Great photos for Mosaic Monday.

That is a great photo of Morro Rock! Did you hike up there to take the photo or drive?
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
Why of course we hiked to the top! NOT!! This was taken on the way back to 101 from Cambria at a turn off on Highway 46!
Oh, my! What gorgeous photos!
The costal pictures are so beautiful! Very nice ‘blue” pictures!
You live where there is so much beauty. You captured a small portion and did a great job. Thanks for letting me see a sight I would never see otherwise.
Beautiful photos…you are so blessed to live in this beauty…
Lovely photos in your mosaic! The Morro Rock and the vista is so beautiful, makes me want to go there! Just gorgeous!

Lovely blues…and an awesome rock!
Lovely blue hues in your watery mosaic views! I feel a bit cooler just looking at your magnificent photographs and can’t believe how hot it is already this morning. I’ve shared a ‘scenic’ mosaic at HRG and featured Ms. Kitty at Small Reflections this week ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
You people made it all the way to Cambria! Wow. The last time we saw Morro Bay it was shrouded in fog. It’s nice to see the whole rock in that beautiful scene.
Absolutely gorgeous!! The blues are just breathtakingly beautiful!! What a perfect day and thanks so much for sharing it with us!
