Springtime in Pescadero - San Mateo Coast, California

Portfolio & Services

Here's an image from last month up along the San Mateo coast at Pescadero State Beach. In mid-May, I noticed the yellow bush lupine were going off like crazy in the field across from the beach. There were some localized concentrations of bushes on the coastal side in various states of bloom.

And I love lupine.

Pescadero is about an hour drive from my house. After making this image, I came up here on a few sunrises (brutal 4am wake-up required) and sunsets, but never quite materialized like this one.
