Winter Beach Reflections - Black and White Photography

  Pinnacle Gulch, just a short hike through a little valley with a creek below. Well worth the hike :)

Winter Beach - Sonoma County California

I love the gray misty winter days at the beach here, the rest of the world seems to sort of disappear and it's just this little  world of sea and mist and stone. Of course it can look like this on a summer day here too, and often does, but this time of year there are less crowds, just the hearty folk who brave the cold and drizzly weather ;)

Black and White Poppies

The texture of these flowers were just too wonderful to get distracted by color. 

The petals remind me of wrinkled tissue paper.

So busy looking at rocks....

That I almost missed these surfers walking by

another lovely day at the beach !

I hope everyone has a wonderful week celebrating life,
So much to be thankful for every day !!

Dogwood trees - Black and White photography

It's been raining here for a couple days, so I thought this would go with the gray.
These are some lovely dogwood trees I found this spring In Santa Rosa , I love how they are closed at the tops.
