Last Friday, I took myself for a leisurely drive on the country roads to one of our favorite, charming towns, Pt. Reyes Station - about a 45-minute drive. At this time of year, the hills are velvety green, the sky a vivid bright blue, and the clouds looked soft and cottony - a gorgeous day! Upon arrival early enough for ample parking, I found a spot close to Toby's Coffee Cart that called out to me when I got out of my car! I had to get a chai tea latte, and then I sat at a cute orange table and enjoyed the sweet and spicy drink. While I watched people pass by, listening to the sounds - chatter, laughter, dogs barking, and birds singing - a poem was brewing. Are you surprised? 🙂
Shopping was inevitable - I found a white beaded bracelet signifying tranquility and a new book. I don't need more books! But I can't walk by a book store and not peruse its treasures, let alone, find a treasure that I have to read! Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui caught my eye because I've always loved swimming, and growing up, we had a pool in our backyard. Diving to touch the drain, pretending to be a mermaid, swimming laps, and playing Marco Polo with family and friends are some of the great memories!
At the end of my Pt. Reyes visit, taking photos was on the agenda. How could it not be? I hope you enjoy the beautiful scenery and the fun poem!
Blues and Greens just for Me
A day for me and me alone
With my thoughts we will roam
Lovely country roads we'll drive
Lined with yellow blooms to thrive
Rolling hills in emerald bright
Velvet touch, a stunning sight
Shops to wander, trinkets entice
Sipping chai, a relaxing sigh
Flora and fauna all around
Camera in hand, photos abound
Memories made for me alone
A day for me to freely roam
Just like sunrises and sunsets, there is no such thing as 'too many sky photos!'
Old barns captivate me!
An inviting Zen garden.
I've never mastered selfies!
Thank you for stopping by, and know that I appreciate you! ❤️
