Scenic Sunday
Twilight time
The last set of images from our walk along Manchester Beach and back to our rental house on the Mendocino coast, November 2024.
A walk on the beach
We walked from the house where we were staying over to Manchester Beach via an unpaved road cutting through what was once private property but is now part of a State Park Nature Preserve. I’m hoping to get a chance to explore this area further; both times I walked out this way it was late afternoon and I ended up […]
Mendonoma
I’m continuing my look back to September 2022 which I began yesterday, and today’s post includes images from Black Point Beach in Sea Ranch and Gerstle Cove near Salt Point (Sonoma County) and the Point Arena Lighthouse (Mendocino County). This was really one of the nicest coastal trips we’ve had, and I would be very happy to spend more time […]
Memory Monday: Camping days, 1987
This week I’ve re-scanned some prints from 1987 (and one from 1993) which I shot at the Sonoma coast. I shared some of them before, back in June 2017, but I always enjoy looking back over these memories and the adventures I shared with the Big Guy and two very wonderful dog companions. Allow me to quote from that earlier […]
Memory Monday: Sonoma Coast, 2015
We just arrived home yesterday from our latest trip to the Mendocino coast near Fort Bragg, and this morning Google Photos prodded me with memories of an earlier visit, just a bit farther south. It was September 2015, and we were staying at the Ocean Cove Lodge in Sonoma County, a great little spot located between Salt Point to the […]
High tide at Moat Creek
September 2022 — I had come to the Moat Creek coastal access point, just south of the town of Point Arena in Mendocino County, hoping to explore the tide pools. Since I found high tide covering the area where I had hoped to poke around, all I could do was look about for some other cool details. And it wasn’t […]
Bowling Ball Beach, by accident
Sadly, I didn’t get to see any of the rocks that gave this beach its name; and in fact we didn’t even really know where we were during our visit. Our intended destination was actually a spot named Schooner Gulch — but we took the wrong trail and wound up on the next beach to the north. A huge pile […]
Stump Beach
I mentioned our visit to Stump Beach in my previous post; so here are a few images of the beach itself and the cove. Although it was obvious there had been people on the beach at some point, we had the place pretty much to ourselves, with only one or two people — including a Salt Point State Park ranger […]
