Morro Bay Bird Fair

This morning a lovely trip down the coast to Morro Bay. A beautiful morning!
 My sister Julie and my brother in law Kim  and I looked forward to the yearly bird fair and seeing our favorite pottery artist, Paula Teplitz and the wonderful collection of books and bird paraphernalia that this show provides.
 Beautiful hand carved birds, delicately painted, paintings, books and hand made wares. Telescope's, glasses and cameras for birding and even a salve for the bites and rashes you may receive while looking for your favorite bird in the fields and trees.
After ward a drive around the darling little beach city of Morro Bay. Great fun! I am inspired!

BIRD SHOW

Yesterday was the bird show and exhibit in Morro Bay California. My sister Julie and I were so pleased to see the number of wonderful book displays, cameras, field glasses , telescopes and artisans. Lots of "birders" signing up for nature walks and bird observing in the various natural preserves.

Morro Bay is home to the Morro Estuary Natural Preserve. This encompasses 2700 acres including 800 acres of salt marsh ,wetlands area located with in the bounds of Morro Bay State Park. This beautiful and protected area is an important stop over and fly way and winter home to numerous water fowl, shore birds and different bird species.

Among the artists exhibiting in the show was one of my very favorites, Paula Teplitz. A potter from Arroyo Grande California. I have shown one of her pieces here. Her wonderful work( I have many special pieces) is available at the Chambers Gallery here in Cambria.

It was a very nice show and fun day being with like minded nature enthusiasts.If you are in the area it goes though Sunday!
