mountains & beach

i love the bay area so much. it is such a lush place to live.

the boy and i went camping in a redwood grove and spent saturday exploring bits of the santa cruz mountains above pescadero, and then drove down to the town for lunch of goat cheese and artichoke bread, and then drove just a little further west to the sea. mountains and beach – the best of both worlds all in the same day.

i’m in love with the fields of mustard flowers around the town of pescadero, which is just devastatingly charming. we laid in the middle of the field and felt the sunshine from the azure sky.

and then watching the waves surge and crash at the beach and driving home along the coast filled us right up with sea air – which is some kind of lovely elixir for the soul.

i feel like i could never be done exploring this place where i live. the bay area is such a handsome home for me.
