A PEACEFUL SPRING SCENE IN ARROYO GRANDE

I took this photo at least 8 years or so ago ... and i don't know for sure if it is Arroyo Grande or Pismo, California  (Laura you would know).

I think this was in the spring because you can see just the slightest bit of yellow (wildflowers possibly or maybe a tree) in the hills in the background.

Today seems like it is shaping up to be a beautiful spring day if the wind will cease as it's suppose to do by 1:00 today.  The weather reports up here in the mountains are rarely accurate especially when it comes to wind.  I'm ready to go hiking if it does settle down!

PISMO COWS #2

As I said before in prior post so fortunate to have these photos - because the only ones I have of this day and these cows are what I posted on a different blog right after I took the pics.  The rest of the photos from my trip were lost when my computer crashed.  If I hadn't blogged them I would not  have the photos as a reminder of the beautiful day up in this area.

MOM AND BABY AT THE CENTRAL COAST -

I don't think I put these on this blog before and if I did it's been years. 

I have a whole series I want up so I can refer back to them for sketching.

This was on a trip up to Arroyo Grande/Pismo area of California.

This was in an area where there were "view" lots for sale and they sat behind a security gate which was open when we drove by one day.  I am so glad we went when we did because now the gate is closed to the public. 

The views were beautiful and it was at a time a lot of the mother cows had given birth to their babies.  

I'm so thankful I got these pics.
