stinson beach: One Night Away - a fresh approach to life - 08/28/19 09:21 PM

Day One: This car-less adventure saw us head out the door with overnight backpacks, over North Beach with a stop at our friend's cafe (Pat's Cafe) for a leisurely breakfast and then down to Pier 41where a ferry boat took us across the bay to Sausalito via Angel Island and Tiburon.

Summertime, and the Livin' is Easy -----Those lyrics float through my head on days like today. Yesterday it was 87-degrees in San Francisco, and off-shore breezes made it a perfect beach day. Today promises more of the same.

This shot of Stinson Beach, in Marin County, California, was taken by my friend, Blanche Shamoon. Blanche is the director of Tea Garden Springs, my favorite Zen spa, in nearby Mill Valley.

stinson beach: Speechless Sundays: A Recent Hike in Marin County, Califonira - 03/14/10 01:24 AM
The last week in February my husband and I took a few days of R&R and indulged in one of our favorite activities, hiking in the gorgeous hills of the San Francisco Bay area. These snapshots were taken on the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County, just across the Golden Gate bridge from San Francisco. We're heading back today for another day in the sun and check out the progress of the wildflowers, expecting to see many in bloom. Wishing you a fantastic day, too!
