On my trip last week along California’s spectacular coastline, I noticed that the Ice Plant growing along the sand dunes and beaches was a very vibrant color. Fall weather had made its mark on the Ice Plant. In the second photo below, you’ll see the color of Ice Plant in other seasons. With an approaching Pacific Ocean storm, the contrast of the autumn colors to the dark blue skies was a refreshing look. Now, if we could only get an ocean in Southern Utah where I live.

This is the beach at Garrapata State Park just south of Carmel. The beach disappeared the next day under the high surf produced from a strong Pacific Ocean Storm. Those photos to follow soon.

I go to bodega and mendo a lot and I have always wanted to take out my macro and get these colorful beauties and I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Even though I live in Southern Utah, I can’t get enough of the California Coast which I have visited a lot lately.

I was just about to ask you if you were based there because you have so many photos. Have you been to Mendocino? It’s glorious. And I spend a lot of time in bodega bay.

It’s been about 7 years since I’ve been that far north on the California Coast but I enjoyed the remoteness of the coast and the Redwood Forests.

I’ve also enjoyed shooting the ice plant on our coastline. You’ve brought out the vibrancy in the colors. Beautiful work—always!
