I voyaged down the Central California coast this week.

The trip was sublime.

Medium-sized mushy waves.

Waterfall and girl. image: snowbrains

The best car-camping campsites of my life.

Exquisite sunsets.

Vicious full-moonrises.

20 dolphins jumping & frolicking 100′ off the beach for 30-minutes whilst I ate breakfast.

Cool, wet waterfalls.

Hummingbirds.

Bunnies everywhere.

Bats like crazy at sunset.

Fast-flowing fog.

Proud poppies.

Turquoise waters.

Stars like you can’t believe.

Shooting stars you could believe.

Sea lions’ guttural honking echoing through pine forests from miles away…
