Dreamy Days

Set out with my new Zumi in hand to explore a familiar place

a favorite haunt-a short walk through the glorious Marin headlands
every visit is unique — always changing moods
mother nature embraces her rolling hills with a hug and release
moving clouds and wind shape the face of the terrain
birds soar catching the thermals as they roll through...
the grand dame the show the pot of gold ...
the glorious Pacific Ocean is your final reward at the end of the path
today was a tumultuous day
the surf has been bringing forth some amazing sets
the beach is telling of the tumult by the mound of sand where before stood a flat beach.
waves break huge in the distance as far as you can see in the horizon
it is hard to stay planted on the sand the wind is so strong
the sounds and smells immediately evoke calm and terror almost in the same breadth
feels like a dream to be here
one that you don't want to wake from yet know you must because there is life to live and so you move on....

this camera gave me the perfect memories of the day capturing the surreal mood
feelings I needed to express
so much can happen in a few days to take your breath away, loose your momentum, you're footing... sometimes you need a little dreamy escape
