Sea Ranch Sojourn

Spent a week at the Sea Ranch recently. As always, it was peaceful, beautiful, and renewing. Some friends came by and we ate well, drank well, went wine tasting, hung out in the hot tub, and generally chilled. Here's a pic of a sunset from my rental home. It was like this almost every evening. During the day you can hike along the bluffs overlooking the ocean, taking in coastal vistas, watching the waves thunder along the shoreline.

I went hiking up in Mendocino one day, in Van Damme State Park. This is a typical shot along the trail in the canyon. A fine mix of sun and shadow, towering redwoods, a gurgling stream alongside. And, on a March Monday, very few people. I never get tired of the redwoods. Their majesty and tranquillity are eternal.
