Yes, it's true, I have been travelling through California for some months now. I have been sharing my travels with my friends at www.beautifulwildlifegarden.com, sometimes to the neglect of my own blog and you my readers. Last week I wrote about my wildlife encounters in San Simeon.
I have been following US Route 1 north from Malibu, and taking my time. I am enjoying being able to get to know the towns I visit and not simply rushing off to the next destination. I am something of a Gypsy Gardener at this point, getting my hands dirty when & where I can!
I want to share some recent photos with you:
The Hearst Castle is a popular destination on the Central Coast, sitting like the castle it is on a hill way up high. Less visited is the beach & pier, constructed by Hearst, where his famous friends would enjoy beach parties by night or by day.
Once the fog clears, you can see the coastline at Hearst Beach is pretty stunning!
Across from the Hearst Beach is this historic one-room schoolhouse set in a quiet meadow of spring blooming wildflowers, where a horse is happily grazing.
More to share, more to follow! Happy Spring to you~
Your photos remind me of the road trip I did through California, in April, 3 years ago. The plants down there are so different. I wanted to bring them home with me. My house is getting stuffed with succulents and other non hardy plants :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Melanie! I am having so much fun on this journey, following RTE 1 headed North. I am happy to find that many of the Central Coast plants are also found down in So Cal, and so are familiar to me. As well as, of course interesting new plants... I just miss the Lizards!
