A reserved spot for seals in the spring, the Carpinteria seal rookery come here every year to breed and raise their pups. It is off limits during this time, but looking down from the cliffs above is a delightful experience. Notice the camouflage – the rough texture of the mussels matches the mottled coloring of the seals.

I’ve had an awful cold for the past week – and whilst convalescing, I made good use of my time. I knit a sweater this past week, and watched all of Engregages, and even managed to get to work for a few hours . . .
A lot of construction is going on where I work, and much of it is outside my front door. Bobcats and diggers, plumbers and electricians. Noise. However, it does make for some fun subject matter!
