Marin has a famously "hidden" town named Bolinas, whose residents like to keep visitors out by hiding the street signs leading there. With the aid of our GPS we found our way to a trailhead in Bolinas and enjoyed a walk among wildflowers and dramatic coastal bluffs. No wonder the locals try to keep it to themselves!
The weather was so balmy that in t-shirts we were too warm for part of the walk, which is unusual even in summer right by the ocean.
With all the wildflowers -- lupines, irises, etc. -- Cristie & I took hundreds of pictures. I hope she'll blog some of hers in the next few days. William took an "if you can't beat them join them" attitude and took beautiful images with his iPhone and photoshopped them on the spot using Photoshop Mobile.
Being William, he had a few tricks up his sleeve. Here he's surreptitously video recording Cristie & me while we try to pose him among the flowers for a portrait. The video makes us look pretty crazy, I must admit, with Cristie & me calling out conflicting suggestions of where and how to pose.
At one point he grabbed one of my cameras ...
... and took a picture of what I often look like to him.
We hiked until Sunset, the light getting more and more beautiful. Our final reward of the day was a merging of sky & ocean in the twilight, with the horizon almost imperceptible.
