    ✧ Huhu beetle ✧

    The huhu beetle (Prionoplus reticularis) is a longhorn beetle endemic to New Zealand. It is a large, visually distinctive species whose adults reach up to 5 cm (2 in) in length. It is widespread throughout New Zealand, occurring up to 1,400 m (4,600 ft) in altitude. Although it is unable to eat as an adult, the larv...

  8. There's a major water line break at Via Del Ray and El Caminito Del Norte in #Monterey. It's affecting water pressure and service from Seaside to Pebble Beach. It nearly flooded a house by the high school there was so much water dumping into the creek. Cal Am is shutting off pumps across the peninsula to try and get it to stop. The leak undermined the road. It's still flowing but not as much as when it broke around 240pm.

    So I guess we won't have water until tomorrow. Neat.

  9. Big Sur Kate's recent post on the Timber and Plaskett fires, w/report from Keith Vandervere. Looks like the Plaskett has gone down to Hwy 1, and has also crossed onto Fort Hunter Liggett: bigsurkate.blog/
    #Monterey #wildfires

  10. #Monterey Peninsula just got a #redflagwarning. We lived through the brown skies of the Soberanes fire, and didn't get a red flag warning even then. And the Timber fire (granted it's about 23k acres now, and a new fire to the south (Plaskett fire) is some 40 mi. away. Now we're supposed to keep our go-bags handy because 20% possibility of lightning strikes as well. Yikes.

  11. We did a favorite road bike ride yesterday.

    The map shows the 26 mile round trip road bike route from Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey CA to Pebble Beach and back. Most of the ride is along the coast. As usual, it was overcast with a light wind. One gets used to overcast and wind when riding pretty much anywhere within Santa Cruz and Monterey along the bay.

    Fisherman’s Wharf is a good place to start since there is usually plenty of parking and the parking rate is reasonable.

    The Lone Cypress is a mile or two up 17 Mile Drive between the bottom 180 turn on the map and the Pebble Beach resort, our turn-around point.

  12. Aw, shucks. Except for all the passenger planes flying over my house bringing in rich tourists (and "air attack" fire-fighting airplanes heading to the Timber Fire), and souped-up pseudo race cars gunning it up the hill where I live, I entirely missed Monterey's Car Week! 😜
    #monterey #carweek

  13. Main focus of #Monterey British was #Jaguar, lots of lovely E-types. Also, great weather, nice fun crowd. Located at Carmel Valley Village. #ClassicCars #WeirdCarMastodon

  14. #Monterey British also had #Hagerty journalist Jason #Cammisa bring his Rover SD1 to show. He borrowed my Elise for his video about Lotus a few years ago so it was good to get caught up. #ClassicCars #WeirdCarMastodon

  15. #Monterey British event for #CarWeek today. Entered my #Lotus Elise and people amused themselves trying to get in and out of it for a photo. I amused myself trying to get in and out of a Caterham Seven. Nice customized Europa also in the Lotus section. #ClassicCars #WeirdcarMastodon

  16. Damn. There's an 800 acre #wildfire in Big Sur in rough terrain with a ton of tree fuel, and very difficult to access. This is near Nepenthe, Julia Pfeiffer Sur park, and the Henry Miller Library. Evacuations in progress. #Monterey #carweek

  17. Protip for all visitors to #Monterey #CarWeek: I know it’s super tempting, but do not rev your car and zoom out of the Lighthouse Ave tunnel. There is always—ALWAYS—a cop with a sound meter and radar gun at the exit.

  18. "'In an ideal world, we would have bike lanes with a physical barrier everywhere. That’s what’s needed. The reason more people don’t bike is primarily the fear of cars, and you can’t blame them.'”

  21. Exhilarating captain's log entry from Monterey Bay where the captain and passengers of Sanctuary Cruises captures incredible video of a pod of Bigg's killer whales hunting 15 dolphins. High wire acrobatics etc.

    "Seeing a predation event of this scale is a stark reminder of the raw, trophic dynamics of Monterey Bay. While these encounters can be difficult to watch, they represent the natural ecological balance of a healthy, functioning marine sanctuary."

  23. After attending the 2026 California Bicycle Summit, the California Coastal Commission’s Senior Transportation, Access, and Mobility Planner Devon Jackson is eager to hear from local bicycle advocates on the Central Coast. He’d appreciate their recommendations, which can help guide project planning along the coast. Contact Devon: bikemonterey.org/california-co

  24. We went on an incredible 32 mile road bike ride yesterday from north of Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey CA south along the coast into 17 mile drive and down to our turn around point at the Pebble Beach resort.

    The left photo is from Lover’s Point and the cove in Pacific Grove looking toward the south east to Monterey about 8:30 yesterday morning.

    The right photo is part of our Bike Club at the Lone Cypress on 17 Mile Drive on our way to Pebble Beach and our turnaround point.

    The original intent of the ride yesterday was to do a 40 mile fast paced training ride to the north of Monterey along the rec trail. But the weather was so nice we decided to go south and enjoy the coast at a more relaxing 13+ mph pace.

    Sometimes you have to slow down and smell the roses.

  25. Excellent March road bike ride yesterday.

    7 of us rode around Monterey CA yesterday and then out and back from Fisherman’s Wharf along the coast to the Lone Cypress just off of 17 Mile Drive not far from Pebble Beach. It’s one of my favorite rides along one of California’s many beautiful coastlines with rocky shores, mostly windy, and rough surf.

    17 Mile Drive is actually a loop pretty much around the Del Monte Forest. The section most people know about is the coastal route we rode along that stretches from the Spanish Bay resort in the north down to Pebble Beach in the south.

    Getting to the Lone Cypress is like a gift. You ride around a corner and there it is. Pretty much as seen here.

    A day and bike ride like that is what life should be about. Getting out in nature, surrounded in beauty, breathing fresh air, and challenging yourself a bit with exercise along with friends. When we forget that, is when we get lost.

  27. Bicycling in Pebble Beach is temporarily restricted Saturday and Sunday, August 16-17, 2025 due to Concours d'Elegance. Also, although not restricted Monday through Friday, August 11-15, Pebble Beach Company does not recommend biking inside Pebble Beach on those five dates as well.

    Watch out for big trucks! Monterey County roads will see many more around August 8-17, hauling cars for “Car Week.” Our Summer Bike Buzz bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-sum updates include a reminder about Cycling Savvy’s tips on “The 6 Things You Need to Know” to stay clear of a truck’s danger zones. cyclingsavvy.org/what-cyclists

  29. Bike riding in Monterey and Pebble Beach

    We did a very nice tri-club bike ride on Sunday starting in Monterey (CA) heading south along the coast past Pacific Grove and into the Pebble Beach area along 17 Mile Drive and turning around at the iconic Lone Cypress as seen in the photo.

    This part of the CA coast is spectacular with its rocky beaches intermixed with white sand. Along the route you pass two of the famous Pebble Beach golf courses, Spyglass Hill and Spanish Bay. And of course there are the houses. You’re either awed or appalled at their Hurst Castle-like gaudy excessiveness.

  30. At yesterday’s Vision Zero meeting for Monterey County, the challenges of Salinas Road were among topics discussed. In fact, on Wednesday, a Watsonville resident traveling by bike was going north on the shoulder of Salinas Road when he attempted to make a left turn and was hit by a GMC Yukon. The Yukon’s driver fled the scene. Good Samaritans assisted the injured bike commuter. Thank you to law enforcement; the driver has been arrested and faces felony #HitAndRun charges.

    Thanks also to Amelia Conlen of Transportation Agency for #Monterey County for organizing yesterday’s mtg, and to Congressman Jimmy #Panetta for securing #USDOT funding for TAMC to develop a Monterey County Regional Vision Zero Plan: tamcmonterey.org/tamc-to-recei

  33. For #FungiFriday have a looksie at the time a few weeks ago when I found a bunch of Onion Earthball (#Scleroderma cepa) #mushrooms! Here's one I was documenting for #iNaturalist that *spontaneously* exploded ashy black spores all over my arm and chest (not in the face, thankfully😅).
