Just a Bum-Around Sunday Afternoon in Carlsbad

Gorgeous Sunday Afternoon in Carlsbad

 

Carlsbad beach bluff view

 

It was a stunning day today, and a perfect time to take a couple of hours to go just BE at the beach. Parking was a major challenge and the beaches were crowded, so we found a place along the coast road and sat up on the bluff to enjoy the breezes, the views, and the pelicans flying by. And this wizened old tree on the bluff caught my eye!

On the way home we stopped by the Carlsbad Flower Fields to take in the views from the hill above, looking down on the fields and to the ocean beyond. They are in full bloom and the views were spectacular.

Great photos and the flower fields are just breathless.  Must be even better when getting the smell as well.  Thanks for sharing

Each state .. each area ... has its own type of beauty to share, Jeff Dowler.  Sometimes we just have to open our eyes and look.  But the pics you share?  So often it's hard to beat those views!

Hi Ed Silva  - can't say I noticed a smell...must have been the salt air from the ocean! LOL

Ginny Gorman  - the acres of flowers are truly stunning, and yes, remind me of the tulip fields I have seen photos of (but never in person)

Hi James Dray  - and that's a pretty nice compliment. We both kept remarking about what a beautiful day it was!

Thanks so much Amanda S. Davidson 

It's a tough walk down to that particular beach, and yes, it WAS high tide. I'm sure you have plenty of beauty where you are in Sarasota Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386
