My local camera club, Photographic Society of Orange County, took a trip to Monterey California last month. At the club meeting, we can show only four photos from our field trip. Wow. I took over 600 pics and narrowed that down to the best 90. Four was too few. So I’m sharing the best of the best with you here.

There are so many other photos that I liked, but these were my favorites. Some of the photos were taken during our agriculture tour with Evan Oakes of Agventuretours.com. Great tour. Hope you enjoyed this peek into Monterey and nearby Salinas.
