There is something magical about living near the ocean. Knowing that I can drive a short distance and stare out at the open sea, well, that is one of the reasons I love living here. With everything going on in life, sometimes I just need to clear my head. Somehow staring out at the ocean gives me a sense of peace. It’s like meditating.
These are a few of my favorites from the California coast. We have Bodega Bay, Point Reyes, Muir Beach Outlook, and Stinson Beach. Can you tell which is which? (If not, you can just hover over the picture and a description will pop up.)
There are so many great places to take beautiful photographs here. Who knows what I’ll stumble upon next!
Shifting the Balance 
I feel the same way about the water which is why we went to Texas this winter for an R&R. Sometime tell us about the birds that live at or visit your beaches. Thanks!
Great photography! Where you’ll stumble upon next? Jumping from boulder to boulder and never falling, with a heavy backpack, is easier than it sounds; you just can’t fall when you get into the rhythm of the travel dance as I got in Patagonia…
Hope the photos inspire you 🙂
