Sunset Walk With My Two Sweet Girls Day 13 Of 366, Bodega Bay, CA



It was a beautiful evening, no wind and pretty warm for January. We sat down for a while and watched sea otters in the ocean below us. We haven't had any rain for a long time so the water is very clear and light blue right now.

Lily and Lia-Louise had so much fun laughing and running all over the trails tonight. They were great company and made me smile the whole time.

Lia and Salt Water Taffy, Day 4 of 365 Bodega Bay Project





If you've ever driven through Bodega Bay then you've seen Patrick's Of Bodega Bay, Salt Water Taffy Shop. You can't miss this pink and white striped building and today it the place I took our 3 year old for some fun pictures. I think Lia smiles bigger when there's taffy involved, what do you think?

Day 3 of My 365 Bodega Bay Photo Project


I love where my family and I live. It's a special place for us and part of what makes it special is, how quickly things change around here. From the tide, to the weather, from the fishing seasons and the tourist seasons, things are always changing and it's very easy to see and you can't help but feel it too. Today was sunny and then foggy all in a matter of a few hours. It was low tide in the morning, then high tide and then low again and that all happened right in front of our eyes. My photo today is one I've never photographed before, it's the edge of the low tide water in the harbor disappearing in to the fog. This was taken at the Spud Point Marina area and I pass by this place all the time. Things just seemed right for a picture this early evening and I hope you like it too.

365 Bodega Bay Project Day 2



These are two photos I took today for my 365 Bodega Bay Photo Project. The first photo is of some Bodega Bay cows in the fog and the other is of some wild mushrooms Nick and I saw while on a hike to a beautiful redwood grove on the Pomo Trail on the Bodega Bay/Sonoma coast. The weather was so different from yesterday, today was foggy and wet but it was still beautiful and I'm glad we got out in it.

Everyday Bodega Bay, January 1, 2012






I hope you all had a great holiday and a Happy New Year. I'm starting this year off with a few new projects and goals. One project I'm going to complete this year is a photo everyday in my town, Bodega Bay, CA. I'm excited about this project for a few reasons. One, I love this town and I can't wait to get to know it better. Two, I look forward to seeing it with an artistic eye and capture its natural beauty as well as its everyday style. Three, I want to learn how to photograph the feel Bodega Bay gets in all types of light, weather and in every season. I hope you will follow me in this journey in discovering this small seaside town and enjoy my photos.

Today Nick and I decided to go to one of our favorite places, the Bodega Bay Head, for a walk. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing from the East so it wasn't cold and it was very clear. The place had more visitors than I'd ever seen there before and we ended up parking pretty far away form our usual parking area, which turned in to a great thing. We had always known there was a "Hole in the Head" from when this location was going to be a Nuclear Power Plant, but we've never seen the "Hole" before. Well, we parked near it and went searching. After walking through some pretty thick brush we saw it. It was full of water and was very pretty. We were the only ones around and really enjoyed the view.

As we were walking we saw some beautiful prey birds flying up the hill so we followed them and came to the top of the "Head" and looked out over a breath taking 360 degree view of the ocean, the town of Bodega Bay, the harbor and the bay its self. We sat all by ourselves soaking up the sun in a spot sheltered from the breeze looking at the coastline. We could see all the way North to Jenner and South to Point Reyes.


If you ever get a chance come out here for a beautiful walk, bring your camera and enjoy the views, they're endless.
