It is fairly common to find these birds sharing the nature with you at the Pacific Grove

BLUE

I love Blue. I love beaches. I love Ocean.

"you could just look at this all day with a strange longing in your heart .. you feel intimidated yet inspired .. restless yet peaceful .. irrelevant yet alive .. do you define the ocean or does the ocean define you" (A close friend shared his thoughts in form this little write-up for this picture :))

This little birdie was found at a parking lot in the Spanish Bay in the Monterey Area. Seemed like it was crossing a border ;)

A capture at the Pacific Grove. Though I could have done a better job, nevertheless, I'd like share this one too :)

Opposites attract?

Contrasts, a photo by Pictures Speak! on Flickr.

The two pictures in this collage were taken during one of my evening walks last summer. The Pink flower caught my attention, beaming flamboyantly under the sun as though inviting me to capture it's beauty. The second picture came at the crack of dusk when I had almost finished with my walk that evening.

PS. Yeah, I do carry my camera on my walks, sometimes ;-)

Vantage Point, Julia Pfieffer State Burns Park

And this is the Vantage point of the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in Big Sur. One has to pass through a tunnel to get to this point. You can almost feel the currents of the gigantic ocean and needless to say, I was thrilled!! You'll almost want to climb down the hill and get into the Ocean. The view of the ocean and the McWay falls from this point is just mind-blowing!!

This lovely blue dazzling view of the Pacific Ocean is from a Church we came across on our way to Big Sur.

A lonely bird

This image appears like a painting to me. Shot in the Pacific Grove, I absolutely love the blue element in this picture. Only if the Sky did not play a spoilsport that day ;)

McWay Falls at the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park

McWay Falls (is a tidefall that falls into the Pacific Oceans) is one of the stunning views from the Vantage Point of the Julia Pfieffer Burns State Park in Big Sur, California. I just could not get enough of it. If only I could climb down the hill and spend time in the beach.

PS. McWay Falls is the one of the two Tidefalls in Big Sur.
