still sorting through pictures from new years and beginning to realize that our frenetic medley of plans gave us a chance to see a lot of the coast between portland and san francisco. a definite highlight was exploring the tidepools at cape perpetua. starfish, anemones, and mussels managing to look cozy amidst the waves crashing on old broken lava fields.

driving highway one along the coast south of mendecino is an adventure. the road is curvier than a plus-size model and plummets from the road to the beach inches past the guard rail.

in a cove rolling and boiling with driftwood trapped by the rising tide, i looked into the bobbing tumult and realized that one of the logs was looking back at me. with a knowing glance the seal twitched his whiskers at me and dove out of sight.

gloomy weather makes for dramatic sunsets.

stella firefly ringing in the new year
