So it's way too chilly to walk at the lake. We tried it yesterday but the windchill felt like it was in the high 30's. We didn't last long and came back to the house.
Today I was going to rake and bag leaves and pine needles if the wind stops and it actually has but I would rather sit here and post photos instead of get out and do yard work.
So here goes. More from Pismo, heading up to Harmony . Probably most of these aren't that interesting to other people except for my sister, so if you are reading and looking - I commend you for your endurance and thanks for the visit.
I wanted to sit right down on that patio when I walked by but I contained myself to stay within my own space.
Nice vacation rentals below in Pismo.
So, it appears that the psychic may possibly live in the same building that she tells her fortunes in. She's got a good racket going on I think. Her location is great as it's right in town and her prices look reasonable. Which reminds me of a picture I took years ago walking along the little town of Shell Beach. Upon reviewing the pictures later I discovered that when walking by an old motel the sign was a little revealing about what you might find inside. The "E" had fallen off the word "Rates" and the sign said "Reasonable Rats". My husband sent the picture to a guy named David Allen who reviews restaurants and businesses in our area and he wrote up a story about it and posted the pic.
When I come to the coast the first thing I notice is I can see the sky so much better than when I'm at home in my yard. At home the mountain trees block so much - you can't drive anywhere ..where you aren't surrounded by trees. At the beach the sky takes center stage along with the ocean. That's not saying there aren't beautiful trees at the coast and of course palm trees rule here.
Speaking of trees - this hill with the houses below - ...I think I've taken photos of these houses every time I have come to the coast for the last 10 plus years. They always stand out and overlook the hwy with a view of the ocean. Lucky people.
I'm baffled - where are these colorful houses? They showed up in my photos.
Not sure but i liked the colors.
These houses are on hills overlooking Morro Bay and Cayucos. Every house has a view of the ocean. I would put up with lack of privacy (which I am use to where I live)... for a view of the beautiful sunsets over the ocean in the evening.
Then on to Harmony with more pics- ...The thing about the central coast of California - If there is an ocean and coastal climate there will be ranches, farms, vineyards on the other side or inland side of the highway. I have read before that the happiest cows live in this area but I'm not sure who actually has asked them if they are happy. I would be.
Sorry if I repeat photos I have too many to keep track of.
The new winery is up on that hill. First time we ever saw it was this trip.
I would take this old farmhouse over a penthouse suite in Manhattan any day.

First, the houses you mentioned you didn't remember where you saw them but you liked the colors...I believe they were in a SLO neighborhood where we went past on our way to Santa Rosa Street where I mentioned Foothill in the area, and Santa Rosa leads to the highway that takes us to Morro Bay. I recognize so many of the houses you took as you walked by them in Pismo and some you were probably taking from the car.
ReplyDeleteMy thing about trees is there are not enough of them in neighborhoods up here...well, some do have lots...but I don't now and never have considered palm trees trees! They do not provide shade...just don't like 'em. Give me messy tree any day!
Beautiful homes and area! I love the colorful ones you mentioned. I like having trees around of any kind. We have trees here in the city where I live, but I wish there were a lot more of them and a lot less buildings and urban decay. It would be wonderful to live by the beach.
ReplyDeleteYou've shared some great photographs and scenes - thank you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
thanks for the comments...
ReplyDeleteHi Connie - for some reason I remember you visiting ..maybe Florida a few years back - did it have to do with one of your boys going to school somewhere near the coast.
Yes Laura - i think you're right on where those houses were.
thanks Jan - i love taking photos so I have quite a lot ..what an understatement...ha.
