Point Reyes National Seashore - North Beach

Well hello there again! This morning I awoke rather early for a Sunday. It was a chilly and overcast morning, sunlight raining down through small openings in the clouds. Rather than spend my Sunday doing the usual...sit around, watch movies, eat all day...I decided to get up, take advantage of the sunlight and head out on another adventure.

Today's adventure took me to the Northern California Coastline...Point Reyes National Seashore to be exact. The drive from my home in Petaluma is relatively short, only about 45 minutes. Scenic, winding and deserted, the road was an adventure all of its own. Stopping in Point Reyes Station for a morning snack before heading off, I found myself in the Bovine Bakery. One of the most delicious muffins I've ever had found its way into my hands. A blueberry banana bran muffin. Yum! Muffin, and a large chai tea in hand, I was ready to go.

I drove as far as I could through the national seashore reserve. It was my intention to go all the way to the lighthouse, but the road was closed at North Beach, and the shuttle to the lighthouse was not running. Camera bag and muffin in hand, I set out on foot down the beach. I planned to go as far as I could, even walk to the lighthouse if it was possible...but it proved to be just a bit too far of a walk. The sandy beaches, the vibrant firey fauna that flooded the landscape proved to me more than enough to fill my day. Below are some photos I took from my day. Enjoy!
