In particular, I loved the arial view of the #cementship by @ryan_foyboi and that beautiful bull painting by @margaretrinkovsky . The beautiful vase from the old Teacup restaurant caught my eye as well. Another great day in #santacruz @santacruzmah @abbottsquaremarket #santacruzlife @beachboardwalk @accidentallywesanderson #family #art
