View from an office window (and I work in one of the ‘boring’ office buildings, not at the main aquarium). They all have pretty good views I think

@skinnylatte Wow how things change! Anyway, you're not far from Butterfly Beach, which is named for, not Monarchs, but the "butterfly" shells that washed up on the beach (Blue Chiton segments) that look like little blue butterflies.

@skinnylatte Here’s a shot my great great uncle Ray took of Butterfly Beach (left) and Point Cabrillo (right) back in the late 19-aughts. He went on to become President of Stanford and was pretty instrumental in the development of the marine research station.
