happy birthday to me...

For my fortieth birthday, I treated myself to a weekend at a lovely bed and breakfast in Mendocino.

Here are some shots from that weekend...


I just loved the way these trees framed the road and the view.

I walked down this way to the ocean to see the whales migrating by after breakfast.

More...but in the other direction. The hotel had beaches on two sides ... and a little river that led into the redwoods in the first picture.


My birthday plans are on hold until tomorrow due to the weather ... gotta figure out how to celebrate today other than eating cake. On the other hand, two snow days in a row mean I could get a lot of work done ... perhaps.
