Along the Coast

One of the dreams we have is to someday live in the forest.

One of the dreams we have is to someday live in the forest.  When we get a chance every now and then ... Rob and I enjoy taking a drive and exploring the coast.  Trying to relax in the forest going for short walks and taking a deep breath to enjoy the coastal air.  The weather changes often and it's so nice to see how it transforms ... ;)  

Looking at the nature all around is so serene and sheltering ... giving you a very comforting feeling.  I feel like I'm getting a little green thumb ... hoping to learn more about the different beautiful flowers and greenery around me ... hehe.  I find it a bit fascinating the different forms and shapes the trees become ... so unique from one another.  Sometimes you get lucky meeting some cute little animal friends that pass by ... I think Cows are becoming one of my favorites.  

Here's a few inspiration photos for you ... hope you enjoy ... ;)

Misty

Mist creates such a mystery for me ... things seem to always become more peaceful and quiet, slowing time...

Mist creates such a mystery for me ... things seem to always become more peaceful and quiet ... slowing time.  It's often chilling, but provides such beauty and comfort to the eyes making things so much more magical and inspiring for photographs.  Moments and views change with the fog lines ... blocking the distance, allowing you to only imagine what it could be.  Giving you a moment to paint pictures in your mind ... ;)

On our recent trip we wanted to be more spontaneous ... allowing us to take our time and adapt along the way.  Taking turns down smaller local highways and country roads that we always miss today using the larger interstates.

Last weekend we ventured up Hwy 1 with no reservations of where we were going to stay for the night.  Heading north we ended up at a wonderful spot camping by the fire in Manchester State Park ... eventually making it all the way to Fort Bragg with many stops along the way.  Each time I adventure along the coast it makes me love it so much more ....

Hope you enjoy these inspirational photos ... ;)
