Wednesday Filler: The Beach is Calling

Today, in Michigan, in March, it was 75 degrees and sunny.  This made me want to sit on a beach.  Here is one I did that on two Marches ago, in the Santa Monica Mountains.  Well, more so on the beach at the base of said mountains.

No, the ocean is not really sideways, even if everything else in southern California seems to be.  I think at the time I had just come out of the water and was feeling a bit relaxed.  This was taken at Leo Carillo State Beach, which is at the intersection of Mulholland Drive and the Pacific Coast Highway.  Unlike most other beaches near Los Angeles, it is not crowded with people, the parking is free, and everything is quite natural, down to the darker patches of kelp you see out there in the water.  There are also cliffs which provide shade, and fun tide pools.

Some people have no desire to ever go to California.  I would suggest they consider a trip to its more natural parts, well, those that remain anyway.
