I just went to visit my daughter Dre,

in Pacific Grove California.

The roads were downright Hollerific,
DSC09615
with scenery just like Hollerdom.

There were Hollerish folks,

like this army veteran who loves butterflies and Hillary Clinton. (You have to play, “Where’s Hillary? and look for her in the first butterfly house photo. Click to enlarge to see her clearly!)

The critters were different,

but it’s nice to know there are Hollers everywhere,

with creative folks, living in natural places, with wild animals,

that are protected.
Cheers to you from Dre’s Holler~

  7. What a gas! I once lived seaside and there’s something there, like a sense of being on a perpetual vacation, that seems to encourage things like the butterfly house. We have our hollers here in Maine, too. There are probably hollers everywhere…..

    1. Thank God for Hollers and the people who live in them. There is something pretty amazing about a person who defies public opinion and creates a space wholely reflective of themself. I love it, but lack the courage and inspiration!

    1. It is really heartening to see the return of seals, sea lions and otters after the passage of The Marine Mammal Protection Act. When I was a kid they were pretty much obliterated.

    1. California’s coastline becomes impossibly scenic once you hit Big Sur. As a born and bred SoCaly I have to admit the central coast is hands down the most beautiful.

      1. We love that neck of the woods! For 18 years we trekked up to the Monterey/Santa Cruz area to attend family camp at Mt Hermon just outside Felton and Roaring Camp off of hwy 17. Such great memories!

  29. When it comes to places to live, your daughter has great taste too! Must run in the family Cindy! I’ve never been to this part of California so I’m glad to see it here to pique my interest in making a trip someday. Look at that laid-back beach and countryside, culture, and wildlife! <3

    1. I agree with you Lynn as always! What more could one want? Countryside, culture and wildlife! It works for me too as you well know! I hope you do go and drive up through Big Sur. It’s a nice trip from SB.

      1. I was playing for sure, Cindy… but it was as an adult. (grin) That’s how old I am. I did, however, play on beaches in the area as a child. That would have been in the 50s. My grandparents lived in several towns along the coast and my grandfather loved to ocean fish. We got to go along and play. It’s where my love of the ocean got its start. –Curt

  47. Happy place, Cindy – hope the visit with Dre was a great time also. She’s probably too old for butterfly kisses but I guess one cannot help but keep them coming and going 😀
