There seems to be an explosion of color in newly-painted houses, all over the city. Some a bit weird, like this apartment building. When I get the time (or a clone), I’d like to do a photo essay of city color.

This lovely painting is on the wall of the Santa Cruz Museum Of Natural History, a wonderful small museum with displays of the former inhabitants of the Monterey Bay Area, as well as local flora and fauna. It’s at 1305 East Cliff Dr., Santa Cruz, CA 95062.

What a beautiful life California inhabitants had before the Europeans arrived!
