Rainbow at Pescadero Point

November 23, 2024

We’ve been visiting our son in the Santa Cruz Mountains on the peninsula near Woodside, CA. Unfortunately, upon our arrival, we were inundated with an “atmospheric river” coming off the Pacific Ocean. This past Saturday, there was a break in the weather and we drove over the hill to the coast to soak up some sun and give their Belgian Malinois “Wylie” a good run on the beach.

Pescadero Point Beach is one of many small beach areas located off the coastal Route 1. It was so nice to see the sun even though we were greeted with some intermittent misty rain. It produced an incredible rainbow as we walked down to the beach!

The rocky coast was teeming with aquatic wildlife. We watched some oystercatchers wading along the shoreline and on the rocks busy looking for food. We also caught a glimpse of some seals – one of which was enjoying a perch on a rocky shelf just off the coast.

Oystercatchers among the tidepools – I believe these are Black Oystercatchers
Note the starfish clinging to the rock near the edge of the water – down to the right!! It wasn’t until I processed this photograph in Lightroom that I saw it!!
The clouds were amazing!
Rocks and pools and ocean and clouds – oh my!
