gathers no moss...
Along with travels to Portales and Pittsburgh, while moving and renovating my new studio space....
I was also fortunate to have made previous travel plans to distract me from all of this.
So off we went to an area just north of San Francisco......
coincidentally near where this one was heating her cauldrons just days before
(which you can read about here)
Our path took us a bit to the west of where she was in Inverness to
Point Reyes National Seashore
where on the way....we saw this guy lurking
to find this beautiful place.
it was foggy and windy and cold in contrast

Our path took us a bit to the west of where she was in Inverness to
Point Reyes National Seashore
where we hiked for great misty vistas
and more intimate ones
watched the fog settle in....
and roll out again...
over fields of wildflowers
and down to
the
sea
calm on one side of the peninsula
and
wild
on the other,
tossing up creatures...
like this one
then we hiked some more
anticipating a lagoon
as we proceeded with caution....
to find this beautiful place.
On the day we journeyed to the historic
it was foggy and windy and cold in contrast
we hiked down
over 300 steps
to view the magnificent light box that was the 'LIGHT'
and while everyone was ooooo-ing and ahhhhh-ing over the hundreds of 'made in Paris' prisms that reflected the
tiny light bulb......
I was eyeing the mends in the curtains that protect the lens
grateful for MY lens that drew them closer
Oh I was there once. It is so pretty! I remember thinking we would never get there since it is some distance from San Fran!
ReplyDeleteOh Yes Roberta! It was magical. I have a good friend who was a Ranger there at the lighthouse. Since I've known her she has urged me to visit that place. You are right.......it's not on the way to anywhere and a bit of a haul from San Fran. I was there for 4 days.....so worth the effort! With all we DID see, we missed the season for baby seals and whales......something for next time! OH and something I forgot to mention.....right on the earthquake fault! The views were from the Pacific plate to the North American. Simply mind boggling.
DeleteBeautiful photos...and what a mending surprise. Wonder if that would work for the socks I have waiting to be darned... ;-)
ReplyDeleteoooooo the pins might be a bit prickly........
DeleteI love that lighthouse...
ReplyDeleteI swear my friend said she lived there when she was park ranger, but she must have lived at the park housing on the ridge....sources say this is the windiest place on the Pacific coast......and the second foggiest.......the power of Gaia there is captivating and invigorating beyond description
Deletei love point reyes . i would have loved to have been in that class .i was in sf at the same time ... waiting for my grand daughter to be born.

DeleteWhat stunning pictures of Point Reyes and Yosemite. Brings back memories of a trip a couple years ago to the Point Reyes National Seashore. And, oh, Yosemite, one of the most spectacular places on earth. It was great to see your photo of Yosemite Falls. How lucky you were to see it flowing. Last September when I was there, it was dry as a bone. Looking forward to maybe seeing you in New Mexico in the Fall.
ReplyDeleteLori, I thought of you when I was there.......! I am so fortunate to have seen the falls flowing. My experience last fall was the same as yours. On to Taos!

DeleteFirst of all, I wanna thank you for sharing these wonderful photos that made my soul at least for a moment at peace. As a mom, I don’t have time or a moment where I could just sit listen to beauty of silence. But while scanning the photos, I really felt uplifted, renewed and happy. Thank you! God Bless you!

You are so welcome! This is a validation for continuing this blog. I was a mom of a small one a long time ago. I promise you will have the experiences you long for after you complete the most important job of all.....raising little ones. I also think it's important to introduce them to the beauty of silence. I'm not sure I ever did that, but he sees my happiness now.
