We haven't been hiking in so long! Well, we actually did take a couple nice, camera-free trips to Mt. Tam and the Purisima Redwoods since I last posted a trail review, but even that was a long time ago. Sadly, there are no real plans for hiking in the near future either, but even when we can't find a moment to get out of our little corner of the peninsula, there is always time to go to the local beach!
I can hardly even believe that I have a neighborhood beach. How did I get so lucky? Our home is at 500 ft. above sea level, and though the beach is only a quarter mile away as the seagull flies, there is a steep, dangerous, eroded cliff to get down and I only found a good way down that doesn't involve driving a couple weeks ago. It is certainly a good way too, with the *best* wildflower display I've seen in the Bay Area yet. It's not even really wildflower season anymore! I can't wait until next spring.

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pics - I am so jealous you live so close to these views and these colours. Gorgeous & inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! You're lucky to have such gorgeousness closeby. :) It's hot and dry here in the foothills and nothing like the green coolness in the Bay.
ReplyDeleteIt's so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I got so lucky... now if only I could get in good enough shape to run for miles along the beach like you!
ReplyDeleteHa, lately it's mostly gray, foggy, and freezing! It's beautiful nevertheless :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so beautiful! What an amazing place to wake up to everyday :)
ReplyDeleteYou live in an absolutely stunning location :)
ReplyDeleteJust stunning! And, just look at the abundance of wildflowers! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful photos. Lucky you to live on the California coast! I visited about 8 years ago for a solo road down the coastal highway -- these pictures bring it all back.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! You are very lucky to be able to walk down to a neighborhood beach!
ReplyDeleteI just love to see a bit of the ocean from my house! So inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I don't take it for granted!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat trip! The coast highway is just incredible.
ReplyDeleteI love them! I can't imagine what it looks like in the spring...
ReplyDeleteI love it here :)
