Since moving to the central coast of California a couple years ago, I’d heard about the wild flowers…but I just got to go see them this week. Amazing. All the rain we’ve received this 2016-17 season has produced some deep colors and much beauty.

I got to spend this Thanksgiving weekend at my in-laws beautiful beach house in Malibu. One morning, I woke up to see the sunrise. As the sun was coming up, I walked outside to go down the beach house stairs to the beach. This was the view and it was too good not to snap a photo or two of.
