Outdoor Wednesday California Central Coast

Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan. To see Susan & the others participating click on the Outdoor Wednesday Button on the right. It has been a long time since I have joined all of you but, I missed you. So, I wanted to play today & share some photos of our trip to the Central Coast of California. This is in the area of Avila Beach between San Luis Obispo & Arroyo Grande. We went to dinner at The Olde Port Inn that sits out on the pier. This is the sail boats out enjoying the weekend.

We loved the way the water laps up on the sand right at the base of the mountains in some places.

This is a view of the rock at Morrow Bay. We were eating in a restaurant right on the pier (IE: the fishing boats in the foreground). The fog was so thick that at times we could not even see this huge rock which is actually a volcano cone. I believe Diana told me there is a series of 7 cones total in the area ranging from San Luis to Morrow Bay(this one is the smallest in the series)
This is the clearest photo we could get & I assure you that moments later the rock was completely hidden from view.

These two photos make me LAUGH! In Cambria we stayed on Moonstone Beach where there is a wooden sidewalk built to walk along the cliffs. There are so many little ground squirrels living under the sidewalk & in the brush that runs along the sides. This one was sitting on a post looking out at the waves.

A close up of this little cutie! Isn't that a HOOT!

Remember all the beautiful colors of blue & pink from previous sunset photos from my April trip in this area? NOT THIS TIME due to the fog which is also called June Gloom. This is sunset in the Gloom. But, it's still pretty in its own silvery way.

I hope you enjoyed the water & Outdoor Wednesday. Be sure & go see Susan & the others.
