california coast line

finally, a post! a new post for a new place. i've always wanted to drive up highway 1 through big sur. here it is:
aster's first visit to the beach
big, fat, knarly looking seals. and small, fat, cute little seals !

good morning big sur !
all the pretty flowers! mostly new to me.




with my head hanging out the window trying to figure out what the intensely sweet, deep, wet floraly smell was, i discovered it to be the lilac that is everywhere...lilac dewy with pacific ocean sea spray..mmmm!
eucalyptus, also a heavenly smell

  1. i know you're glad to once again be by the sea! the pacific looks beautiful, and i'm so excited to visit the west coast vicariously ;)

    i have to say, seeing the seals lying on the beach is rather bizarre!

  2. I had no idea seals would be there!! Did the dogs want to chase them? It all looks beautiful! Lilac was Granny's favorite smell of flowers and I love it too! Glad you are there!!

    1. nope, they stayed in the truck for that very reason. the water here is VERY cold...lots of blubbery sea creatures here.
