Pismo Beach

Boy, oh boy, I’d love to be there on a hot summer day like today.

This picture was taken back in 2011, on our first trip up the coast headed to Back Bay Inn in Los Osos. This is Pismo Beach. Doesn’t the water look cool and refreshing?

Roses in Springtime

Shortly before we moved from California in 2014, my husband Chris took me to the Huntington Library. I had never been there, but he had some good memories going there when he was young.

The gardens at the Huntington Library were truly among the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, especially the roses.

Back Bay View

This picture was taken at one of my favorite places, Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA.  It’s one of the many beautiful views from this hidden gem of a hotel.  When you check in, you can feel your stress melting away.

Wild Yarrow

The yarrow in our garden is one of my favorite plants. In the wild, it’s just as pretty.

Old Rusty Car

Last December, we went on a road trip into states I had never been to. This rusty old car was by the roadside in Arkansas. Love the colors and the home behind it…kind of captures some of the sights we saw along the way.

 

Country Roads

I love driving down old country roads. You never know what you will happen upon. We came across this interesting scene in Ennis, TX during bluebonnet season last year.

The Old Barn

What is it about an old barn that catches my eye?  If I had my druthers, I’d probably stop at everyone I pass and take pictures.

Love the weathered wood and the metal roofing that’s rusting set against the gray winter sky.
