PublicCEO continues its series highlighting the natural beauty of California’s counties. Join us for a lighthearted break as we take a Tour de California, compliments of the brilliantly-artistic individuals who appreciate all that our counties have to offer.

Each time this series is featured on PublicCEO, we will highlight a different county in California. This week we adopt the laid back attitude of Santa Cruz County natives.

Instagram is a social media platform that allows users to share photos. Like Twitter, it is great for convenient database searching, as users can #hashtag posts and the public can search for content using these keywords.
