Last weekend, for a special treat, we went up to stay in Point Reyes, just north of San Francisco. It’s a protected seashore, and full of wonder. Once over the Golden Gate Bridge and away from the freeways, I love the winding roads through the hills and forests. After all the rain we’ve been having, the hills are unbelievably green!
We went to McClures Beach which involves a bit of a drive and then a bit of a walk…
…the beach was deserted! We sat, I sketched, and watched the waves breaking on the sand.
We stayed in a lovely airbnb cabin in Inverness that looked down over Tomales Bay. It was inexpressably relaxing to watch the colour of the sky changing as the sun set and the birds and frogs started calling.
On the way back to the peninsula we stopped in at Roy’s Redwood Preserve for a walk. It’s always good to see these gigantic trees.
One of the great things about living in the Bay Area is how easy it is get away to nature. I hope we manage to do this more this year.
