Bodega Bay With Brother and DH on Sunday

On Sunday we headed out early to Bodega Bay, an hour and a half drive from where we live; but a stop over in Santa Rosa for coffee and the bookstore (Sommerset Studio magazine)...and finally we arrive and are greeted right off by this flock of pelicans that were graceful and beautiful to behold! We loved our vacation trip that took us to wide open spaces and praries galore, but today we needed WATER and the Pacific Ocean has lots of that to offer... The weather was perfect, warm and sunny, a very slight breeze, just enough to make the hike up the on the headlands easy and fun. Think bloomin' Tuesday as you view all the wild flowers and succulents on these hills. ...and think Animal Wednesday when you see all the wild life we enjoyed as well. Lest you think I forgot this is my Happy Cactus Monday shot! LOL Well, there weren't a lot of cactus at the ocean what can I say? This is my older brother! We stopped at a small art gallery and enjoyed the offerings of many local artists there. A great day, a wonderful way to spend a Sunday...came home inspired to create more art and did...after a Mexican dinner and a little TV and talk. And now it's time to wish you a good day and new week! Enjoy! Life is precious and good.

    The pelicans are so comical looking. They make me smile just looking at them. It appears that you had a great time. HCM, HBT and HAW all in one.

    Mmm, so much beautiful nature all around you. Reminds me of my visit to Moro Bay and Montana de Oro State Park.
