| Lois, Annie, and Kate painting at Moss Landing Harbor |
This photo summarizes our day at Moss Landing Harbor: artists painting stunning scenery under beautiful blue skies with so little wind that there were reflections in the water and Annie could set up her umbrella with no fear of it blowing into the water. It is a long drive to Moss Landing, but we planned a big day since we had been on vacation the week before due to the Fourth of July holiday. Moss Landing has so much together in proximity: boats in the harbor, sea otters and sea lions, the power plant, the Old Salinas River, attractive old buildings along Moss Landing Road, Salinas River State Beach, Monterey Bay, and delicious food at Phil’s Fish Market & Eatery. We did our best to capture it in one day.

Artists and their artwork:
The day started off with clear skies inland, but with a thin marine layer right on the coast.
