It has been a pretty interesting and intense last couple of weeks. Now, I finally get a chance to relax.
I drove up the coast on Highway 1 and visited Sonoma Coast State Park. It was something that I needed as it was just so beautiful watching the Pacific Ocean crash into the rocks and shore. Even though it was overcast, it was still beautiful and much needed:
Just being up there and watching the waves and the water was something that I needed to relax me. And here is a short video that I took:
Hope everyone gets a chance to relax and enjoy.
Yes it is beautiful there. The Sonoma Coast is one of my favorite place to go to for a drive when I need an instant vacation. Hope all's well.

That does look lovely! I am always drawn to the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. That's why I enjoy the Maine coast so much. :)
ReplyDeleteHow refreshing and relaxing the shoreline can be when the waves are crashing in and the sun is hidden. Enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning scenery! I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Highway 1 has such amazing views. Thank you for sharing and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your photos and video. It reminded me of my only drive along Hwy 1. I was in California on business in a rented car. It had not rained for a couple of weeks but it did as soon as I started out. I was not speeding but when negotiating a curve in the road my car skidded sideways into the oncoming lane. Happily there was not traffic and I recovered control. Seems that the buildup of oil on the road makes this a hazard under such conditions. I was rattled but so enjoyed seeing the coastline as I lived in Dallas at the time.
ReplyDeleteThose are some cool rocks! I always enjoy seeing coastal images around the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your link at My Corner of the World this week!
There is something really special about waves crashing into the rocks! Beautiful photos! I am glad that you were able to take the relaxing drive that you needed.

Beautiful pictures of a lovely coast. :)
ReplyDeletePat, I loved these and I also love to visit the ocean if I can especially when it is rough and wild. It seems to help me ground myself too. Thank you for linking up this week for #LifeThisWeek. Glad you could join in. Hope to see you next Monday. Cheers, Denyse.
