Recently my husband and I went to California to celebrate my birthday. I am by no means a photographer, however I was so impressed by how great my little camera did capturing the beauty that we experienced first hand. I had too many to pick from so I choose a few of my favorites from Catalina Island and our scenic drive along the coast.
The stairs leading to the beautiful beach pictured below that we stopped at on our drive from Los Angeles to Sand Diego on the Pacific Coast Highway.

lovely beach pictures
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, wishing you a belated Happy 40th birthday...welcome to Outdoor Wednesday.. your shots of the coastline and the ocean are great!!What kind of camera did you use for these pictures.. have a good day... Baba
ReplyDeleteAnita, Happy Belated Birthday and welcome to Outdoor Wednesday. So glad you joined us. I've been on a hiatus, so this is sort of like my first post, too.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing snapshots of the California Coast because our coasts on Florida are so differnt from yours. I enjoyed these immensely. Hope you'll come visit me for a tour of St. Augustine.
Happy Outdoor Wed...

What a lovely collage and your photos of Catalina are really wonderful. Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteHey Happy Birthday fellow Octoberian (not a word, I know). Mine was on Oct. 26th. however I am somewhat older than you.
ReplyDeleteYou did take some great pictures. The boats all moored in the bay is my favorite.
Ha, look at the dog animation you have there on your side bar. Too funny. My almost 13 yr. old black lab can hold her licker just fine. It is her pee-er we are having trouble with now.
What a fun birthday trip. Today is my birthday, and from what I can tell I am 1 year older than you. Your photos are gorgeous. Thanks for stopping over at my blog.
