Drive-Through Wandering Wednesday


We just don't go anywhere anymore. 
So when we actually are out and about doing errands, I take pictures if I'm passenging (that's my word for being a passenger). Coming back from Capitola, my DH wanted to see how crowded the beaches were on the pre-4th of July Friday, so we took "the long way home" along the beach. This is the view as we came around the corner to first see the ocean. It was a nice day with the fog bank far offshore.
Schwan Lagoon that is right across the road from the ocean. One of the twin lakes that are called lagoons, the other one turns into Santa Cruz Harbor.
At least there were social distancing banners up at the beach. Santa Cruz was the only Bay Area beach system that was open over the holiday weekend.
It was pretty sparse out there, so that was good to see. I think going to the beach is probably pretty safe, as long as you wear a mask when you go into the communal spaces like bathrooms and snack shacks and showers, etc.
The tips of the masts in Santa Cruz Harbor.
All those weeds on the train tracks, even though these tracks are still in use.
The peeling bark of Eucalyptuss trees, always so beautiful and interesting.
And then closer to home, I thought this was very cool. In Scotts Valley all along Scotts Valley Drive, there are banners for each of the high school graduation class of 2020, with their grad picture and first name. Nice, huh?

The blue sky in your photos is great! What color is that? Is there fabric that color?
