exploring nature’s infinite connections
Pacific Gateway | Houda Point, Trinidad Bay, California For anyone who has read this blog for a while, you already know the love I have for the ocean. As thrilling as walking through old-growth forests with towering Redwoods was, any time spent on the ocean created...
I am still sorting through images I like from our trip out to Northern California. This particular shot was made on the last day. We made one last stop in Humbolt Redwoods State Park hoping for some foggy areas. I was still searching for ideas on ways to convey...
