Wandering Wednesday - West Cliff

 

We took a nice stroll on West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz with Meg. Sometimes we go for months without seeing the ocean which is pretty dumb since we live only ten miles away.

It was a glorious day, and not too crowded on the sidewalk because it was a Monday.

How much longer will this stop sign be standing I wonder. The ocean and rust is fascinating to a forest dweller like me.

Criss-crossing paths through Lighthouse Field. I was glad we didn't have to walk through the spring growth of "weeds" because there were A Lot of gopher holes.

This arch is just down the coast from Natural Bridges state park. The bridges there are much bigger than this one. Actually now it should be just Natural Bridge, because one of them collapsed.

I always try to count the number of shades of blue and green.

This part of the coast is very curvy.

There was one hawk looking over Lighthouse Field.

My DH got a good zoomed-in picture of the hawk. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't try and scoop up Meg, but it was definitely watching us as we passed  by.
