• “Smell the sea and feel the sky, let your soul and spirit fly”

  

  That’s a line from the Van Morrison song “Brand New Day” That’s the feeling I get whenever I make my annual trek to California’s Pacific Ocean coastline. From Cambria up to Carmel, the surf was high and the sky was eclectic.

• The Heckle and Jeckle of Condors
