Merry Muir

All of the gray and rainy weather we've been having lately reminds me that it's time to post some photos from earlier this month at Muir Beach.

Gray Matter

Introducing my newwwwww and amazing lens, the Canon 50mm/f1.4!! I took these shots at one of my favorite beaches ever. None of the photos have been edited (except the last one), so they're quite hazy. But I think it conveys the perfect amount of romance.
No fog on the walk out.   What is this? Fog? Here?? Good thing we're prepared for the transition. A perfect place to relax. And that's how it's done.
Switching back to the wider angle...

Far and Wide

Happy (rainy) Monday! Here are some beautiful shots from Marin to ease you into the week.

Thanks for snapping and sending, C!

The Hills Are Alive...

These tranquil photos were snapped approximately 55 minutes before I reached my outdoorsy breaking point and ran screaming, ears covered with hands, from a swarm of bugs, cursing and daring them to sting me and assailing any remaining preconceived notions that I am a hiker. But please, do enjoy the natural beauty. C really got dressed up for the hike.
Lovely weather.

Sunshine at Stinson

From the desert to the sea... Here are some snapshots from Stinson Beach last weekend, where I finally finished The Tiger's Wife after beginning it (gasp) just after Christmas. It's a little bit intense at times, but it's a very good read. I’m now onto The Secret History, and I can’t put it down! Maybe the sun will come back out this weekend, and I can retreat to my sandy perch once more to finish two books in one month! One can dream...

It was very foggy at first. I had my doubts about the sun's appearance.



But slowly, and in typical Bay Area style, the sun started to emerge!



As you can see, a lot of these pictures where taken lying down. I should admit that it was chilly, and I was wrapped up like Nanook of the North. While C wandered the beach in search of shells and something active to do, I picked at a muffin I shouldn't have eaten, read from my Kindle, and napped.
Oops



Until next time...
