here. a few last photos from my weekend on the coast.
douglas family preserve.
a nature preserve high on the bluffs of the mesa in santa barbara.
tall stands of eucalyptus. shafts of sunlight slanting through the dark trees.
the sound of waves, the scent of eucalyptus.
an enchanting place for an evening walk.

Pretty pretty pretty! It makes me want to go back to the Headlands! Then after that to the special fish restaurant!

Thank you for sharing all of this beauty, Mary Ann! Breathtaking scenes that make one feel as if you are right there, breathing in the salt air, and bark, and flowers and eucalyptus.
I just found this, and was completely enraptured by it. So very touching and enchanting.

Karen,

Karen Goetz says
Made me cry too, Margarita! I think there might be a follow up on the mom and sons. I will try to find it and will post it here if I do.

I thought the sea shells were iced cinnamon rolls. Had to look twice. Here you are in nature ills and all I can think of are cinnamon rolls.

Ah, the scent of eucalyptus in the air, and your pics are so so transporting. Looks like such a lovely area.
