Experience tranquility in nature
                                            above the clouds
     striding through a wild mustard field 
                                        meditating in a tide pool.

Be in the beauty of the California central coast!


A great grand daughter of grand great mothers and fathers, arose one day with an emotional burden heavier than she could hold. She dressed for a journey, a long walk by the sea.

This petite beauty possessed a strong stride, which carried her through the wild mustard fields that had grown taller than she. What you could see of her was her tail of beautiful hair knotted on top of her head.

Standing at the cliff edge she looked out over a vast tide pool guarded by a very large turtle rock. Being the daughter of a long line of naturalists she knows the delicacy of life in these pools.

Deep in the tide pool where rocks look like canvases by abstract expressionists in mauve and orange colored sponge, lives an exotic plush velvet star of the sea. Her look and moves upstage most of the creatures sharing this estate.

Seals olympianly balanced atop rocks create a lovely sculpture garden, urchin and anemone
the flowers. Animal vegetable mineral exchanging roles for the art of it!
