You never know until you try - so go for it.  I loved coloring these eggs. You never know what you're gonna get when you color them.  Each one unique and different ... coloring them is like receiving a gift.  

Well, the word is that some possible rain is in store and with that we get a stand-still ocean before the front comes in.  Whales were in abundance! Many mom's with their calves.  We must have seen 20 spouts on and off through out our Salt Point Journey ... always the best... Thank's Harmony for joining Unbeaten Path today!

This morning we took some time away from hiking to rest our legs and to spend time with good friends to enjoy the Kite Show at the Point Arena Light House.  What a special day with a great lunch at the Rollerville Cafe and an after lunch stroll along the Stornetta lands.  

Enlightenment always comes first and the redwoods are a great place to enjoy it. Here are some of my photos I call "Redwoods in Movement". I love looking up to the tree tops. The intensity of the redwood branches as they bend, grow and reach to the sky  move me.  I had fun moving my iPhone camera as I took some of these pics.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.  I have included some other beautiful pics of some Bay Laurel trees as well. 

That's a very true statement by Mr. Steinbeck!  As many of us on the Northern Cal coast know, the winds this time of the year can be gale force!  To escape the winds we take to the hidden trails making discoveries of new spring blossoms and enjoying the ocean views from the ridge whilst resting in soothing sunshine.  Later, after a spot of tea and a late afternoon's rest, it's off to Point Arena Theatre to dance the blues away with Tommy Castro & the Painkillers blues band (they were AWESOME)! The next morning: it's out to the golf course before the hearty winds hit us and then back to the trails! .... I love life when it's like this - One great idea after another!
