My husband and I decided to go up to Point Reyes to see if we could catch some of the California Greys heading south this past week.
We waited and watched.
and watched.
And while we watched for whales, something else was watching for humans.
To my sheer delight (I screamed) we did see about 5 of them coming up for air right by the lighthouse. I have never seen a whale in real life it truly was thrilling!
I also have never seen a coast so beautiful.
I was amazed both by the beautiful landscape and the amount of cows and farm land there was (sorry i didn't get a proper photo of them). I now get all those commercials about how happy cows come from California, I mean look at their view!
I think I scared a cow with my over smiling. I can't help it, it was simple awesome.
Hi! My name is Margaux and I love to knit.(a lot.) I currently am in the gorgeous city of San Francisco. This blog follows my knitting adventures with a little of my crazy life in between.
Your photos are awesome and it sounds like you had a fantastic time.
