We took a little road trip to explore some of the Northern California coast around Fort Bragg and Mendocino. The rugged coast has a beauty that is very hard to capture in a photo. Here you see how the land just drops into the sea. What is not so obvious in this particular picture is the abundant vegetation growing right out of the rocks along this coast. It was an overcast evening and the lighting does not give the best photographic opportunity in these shots.
This rock was covered with vegetation that was continually awash in the waves as they rolled in along the coast. It was something to watch as the waves would cover this and sway the plants to and fro.
This plant was growing on the side of the cliff. It was impossible to get down to it but the beauty of it was something to behold. The plant looks like some sort of succulant and it was growing in abundance along this stretch of coast line.
Here is another view of the rocky coast and some of the variety of plants that call this place home. We loved it there and it was a great place of solitude and reflection upon our good fortune to be able to see these places.
