Morning marine fog clears to reveal turquoise ocean swells crashing against granite sea cliffs and rich giant kelp forests. Historic timber sardine canneries with corrugated iron roofs and weathered wooden wharves celebrate rich seafaring heritage. Twisted Monterey cypresses, fragrant coastal scrub, and blooming pink ice plants frame rocky coves where sea otters and seals thrive. The evocative interplay of historic waterfront masonry and pristine marine ecology defines Monterey's coastal character.

While composing the Monterey collection, I focused on rocky coastal tide pools, barking sea lions, and historic waterfront cannery architecture. To continue wandering through North America, I love seeing these pages paired with my Pacific Grove and Carmel editions.
