Every year for the past two years, my hubby has taught a class in Shell Beach on the Central Coast (oops...he just informed me that he would prefer the hubman...or the hubster...or the hubinator...I'm going to have to think on that one for awhile). Last year we made a mini vacation out of it, but this year we only stayed one night...I've come to love the area up there. Unfortunately, this year it was cold and rainy...I decided to brave it anyway and managed to miss the worst of it...by the time we got there, the rain had slowed to an occasional drizzle and the clouds were marvelous. I started out heading for Morro Bay and beyond...but managed to miss the turn off to Morro Bay and ended up on my way up the inland area towards Paso Robles. I decided to take the James Dean highway (46) from Paso to the coast in pursuit of clouds...
This tree was covered with lichen...
Someone's livin' the dream...on a vineyard in the Coastal Range!!!
(Kind of reminds me of *The Wizard of Oz*....don't cha think?)
Ohhhhh I found the clouds!!!
After chasing clouds while driving the 46 toward the coast, I then chased the remaining light on the beach at Cayucos...
Surfers braved the cold and turbulent water for some great surfing...
Ok...a little camera shake...but y'know...I kind of like it!!!
Loved the feeling of isolation in this one of Morro rock...
But then there's this one...
Which one do you all prefer???
