What must Malibu have looked like when it was still wild? Maybe a lot like this shot. Oh, it's lusher and more formidable, the light hits different that far north, but at Shelter Cove's Black Sands Beach, you can still see it..."True California", taken by yours truly last summer.

California sunsets. We slept on the beach this night. The sounds of the ocean sang me to sleep. The morning was gray, but the night was glorious.

Just got back from my second day perusing the North Country Fair in Arcata, which is a huge arts fair with vendors from all over northern California and Oregon.

I got to chat briefly with some artists, and purchased some prints and cards. I’m really happy with what I got, and they’ll all look gorgeous in my home!

I also got to talk with an artist who used mesh walls to suspend her artwork, and I may consider that at some point. Pricey investment, but potentially a solution to my ever-shrinking table-top space. If I ever want to upgrade to selling a lot of framed prints, I’m going to invest in a way to do that. It was nice seeing the walls in action, and I was impressed!

Onward!

The mouth of the Mattole River, with and without fog.

The campground location is in beautiful balance. Fresh water and the ocean; sunshine and fog; quiet except for sea lions kicking off in the distance 🦭 Hard to beat.
