it's kind of amazing thinking about all the places you've been and will go. so much diversity, from the people to the landscape, from city to city, state to state, country to country. i'm no world traveller, but out of the few places i've been, there's one that has always captured my heart.
bodega bay, california raw, unedited, unwatermarked photos.... don't steal them. : )
growing up, it was our beach and just miles from our house. the air is cooler there. the wind is sweeter. when the sky is blue, it's the prettiest of blues. when the sky is grey it's even prettier. the waves kiss the sand and the cliffs touch the sky. God's creation at its best...
i know i've shared it's beauty before, and i'm certain to share it a hundred times over. : ) it's my favorite place. although maybe i'm just biased. after all, i celebrated my 9th birthday there, which happened to be the last year my dad was alive. so yeah, i'm certain i'm biased.
i can't wait to be there again.

That is an unbelievably beautiful site.
Thank you for sharing the sentiment behind it as well, my friend.
I love the raw, unedited, and NOT for stealing photos. Exquisite.
I think I need to visit this place. :)
Blessings on your Thursday.

Wow...that is absolutely beautiful! Would love to see it in person!
That is a beautiful place that sounds like it has beautiful meaning. Thanks for sharing.
So beautiful! Amazing...and what a great memory of your Dad there. God Bless...
Oh Carissa...
I was reading along, looking at your photgraphs thinking about my own memories in California (I grew up in AZ) and then I got to the part about 9th birthday and your dad...
In tears.
I miss my dad too. ♥
I currently live near Bodega Bay and you are right, it is beautiful.
Beautiful! What a gorgeous place to always remind you of your father!
Gorgeous. Cherished memories.
hi carissa!
how are you, sweetie? you are right, the sky is
bluer there. our daughter attends pepperdine,
and i am always amazed at the intensity of the
blue.
blessings on hunter and sage!
love,
lea
ps. i'm so sorry you lost your father at such a young age.
that must have been devastating to your sweet young self.
What a bneautiful location. And so much prettier since you and your dad shared time there. What part of CA is it? I'm assuming Central Coast since I live in SoCal and our beaches don't look like that!
gorgeous!! What a beautiful memory to go with such a beautiful place. God is so good!
It looks so great there! So pretty!
I grew up near Bodega Bay too! :) I didn't even have to scroll down to the name to ID it, since I have a super similar photo (of my own snapping, promise!) as my laptop wallpaper.
I went back for the first time this summer and it was just as beautiful as I remembered. I hadn't been since I was 6, and went with my dad before he died. (this post felt a little like reading my own life story, oh my! :) )
Beautiful!!
Beautiful! And, it's so evident how special of a place it is to you :) Blessings pretty lady!
So pretty! So peaceful! That's wonderful memories!
