Sky Watch Friday once again. Thanks to Klaus and his team for hosting.
My daughter, Kathryn, lives in north central California. These are her photos, from a visit to Garapata State Park. I have included eight of the many she took, because I simply could not choose any fewer. I think she did a wonderful job of recording her visit.
This is Garapata State Park.

She calls this one "Paths to Paradise".

Waves in the water. Waves in the sand made by the wind.

wow! kitty took some great shots
ReplyDeleteI love "rocks rock" :)
Bobbie, This entire area seems to reflect what we might think as Paradise. :-) Just Beautiful! Thanks for posting!!
ReplyDeleteI'm positively swooning over the callas...I struggle to grow them and here they are growing in the wild, guess I had better add this place to the list of things I need to see and places I need to go!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
Looks like a gorgeous location, wow those pics are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Oh, these are just beautiful! I especially love the ones with the Calla lilies!
ReplyDeleteThe path to paradise is the perfect name!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots! That looks like a very interesting place!
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction was just how much I need to be there. My second why am I not there. Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteParadise is the word that I would use too. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
Now I want to go there too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a part of California that I really really love to see. You just made me want to go sooner :D
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Love the corner filled with birds - great composition!
ReplyDeleteI think the second to last one the best. I have never seen canna lillies growing wild before, really interesting.
ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
OMG! I couldn't have picked just one either! These are fabulous! Kitty outdid herself here! Thanks for sharing and Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Lisa
ReplyDeleteHi Bobbie, if your daughter doesn't have a blog she should have one. She takes the prettiest pictures for you! The bottom is my favorite, guess I can see plenty of sky in the reflections.
ReplyDeleteHappy SkyWatching! (I have a reflection picture today too, a Sky Looking post.) :-)
..
A beautiful series of images!
ReplyDeleteKathryn did an absolutely wonderful job with these.
Such a variety of beautiful views.
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.
This looks like a little slice of much needed seclusion in a busy world.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I can understand why you couldn't choose any less than 8!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible place. I ADORE the calla lilies.
Breathtaking.
Beautiful scenes.
ReplyDeleteParadise is a perfect name, for this wonderful place ...
ReplyDeleteAwesome set of pics...Thanks for sharing!
Oh my ... these are even MORE lovely than the marvelous shots I just looked at and commented upon. I've not thought of Calla Lilies for along time, but they grew in my dad's garden in my childhood home and remind me of him. Thanks! You know how I love the ocean and these views are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
