Some of the prettiest scenery can be seen on days where the weather isn’t exactly ideal for outdoors activities. Last weekend during the rain showers on Saturday, we drove down to Palos Verdes and took some pictures of the coastline features.
On a stop at the Point Vicente fishing access, a seagull landed on the fence post and watched us while I took several pictures of him. It was between showers and there were a lot of birds in the area, including a red tail hawk, some crows, a pelican, pigeons and lots of seagulls.
I also took this picture of the Point Vicente Lighthouse and Coast Guard Station from the fishing access. The visibility wasn’t crystal clear, but on days like this, the fog adds something to the mood of the scene.
We have enjoyed visiting these colorful and unique landmarks in rain and shine, in wind and calm and in crystal clear weather to pea soup fog.

I grew up in southern Cal, down in San Diego. I don’t miss the crowds, the dumb laws, or the liberal mind set, but I do miss the ocean.
We do have dumb laws and liberal mindsets here – we’ll be happy to leave those behind when we retire and move elsewhere. I do hope that we will be able to return to the seaside once in a while, but I’m getting plenty of pictures to remind us of how beautiful it is.
