Love these. Was someone flying a yellow kite on the beach in the 5th one?
Thanks! I think those flag markers are to measure wind speed and direction because a lot of hang gliders use that cliff as a jumping off point.
Blue water and skies, green trees and grass, fluffy white clouds…all peaceful and quiet for me too. Where is this solace located?
Santa Barbara, CA.
Oh, your photos just wants me for summer to start and I want a vacation! -yes a summer vacation.
Awesome photos this week – I love all the blue sky and water!
These are so, so lovely. I love the shot overlooking the coast the very best though.
YES!!!!!!!! Ok so maybe not grammatically correct, but I love this post. To be one with nature often quiets my soul. The picture of the clouds in the sky evokes pure joy. Great shots!
Wow, so beautiful.
AMAZING shots… and almost exactly where I wanted to go and take mine- only we have nowhere like that (within 9 hours anyway) so I just stayed home.
Really lovely!
Oh–Heavenly. Beautiful.
So, so beautiful. I’d like to take my book and a chai and just sit there.
I love the clouds refelcted in the water!
lovely photos, love the reflection of the sky especially!
So peaceful….
Wow- pure serenity.

Quietly dropping by to leave some comment love.
Those are all great quiet pictures – that last one is GORGEOUS!
Do you live in Santa Barbara? I’m originally from CA and I lived and worked in Solvang before I moved here.
(Zoe and I were both born in San Luis Obispo.)
Love these photos and now I miss the beach.
Gorgeous captures. The third one down looks especially quiet and calm.
I REALLY want to jump right into that second picture so I can stand and watch, too. Great captures!
