Foto Friday

Hello everyone. I am Mike and I live in Monterey. Kate honored me with an opportunity to cover for her ‘Foto Fridays’ while she is on safari. Most of my shooting is done around Carmel and Pacific Grove and the first two images below are from there. The bottom image is local Big Sur!

Kate & Rose’s Adventure

Bigsurkate is going on vacation, but Two friends will be keeping an eye on things. Debbie will be watching and posting all things Big Sur. Mike will be watching and posting all things fire-related. Mike has been following my blog since day one, and is the ONLY person I know, friends and family included, who has read every single post for the past 6 years – and that’s a lot! Mike is a retired Cal Fire Captain. He has been my go-to source since the 2008 fires. Mike was in Fresno when we first met, but has now joined us here in Mo Co. Mike has also graciously agreed to cover my Foto Fridays for the next four weeks.

If you need to post an event /benefit while I am gone, send to reedbigsur@gmail.com If you want to notify us of any fire-related issues, cc: mikeswebmail@gmail.com

I will be out of internet range most of my trip.
