Succulents, Sea and Sand .

Succulents, Sand and Sea.

Fog rolling in from the ocean provided the perfect backdrop for morning sunlight peeking in from the east to make these succulents shine. Photographed while walking the beach at Mackerricher State Park north of Mendocino, CA.

Oh I love that photo. It makes me want to run barefoot across the sand to feel it squish beneath my feet. Love the colours.

  Thanks, a barefoot walk on the beach soaking up those colors might be just what the doctor ordered alter a long work week. Have a great weekend.

  Thanks Natalie, I am dreaming of the sea right now as well. I love my one or two trips per year away from the foothills in COlorado to reconnect with the ocean. Have a great weekend.

    I dream of the sea frequently and try to make it to Galveston at least once a year but so far this year we haven’t made it down there. Like the man said in a RIVER RUNS THROUGH, I am haunted by waters but mine are the waters of the sea. Have a great weekend, Mike. Natalie 🙂
