The bristlecone pines above the Owens Valley are only accessible in summer and my winter sojourns were mostly along the California coast. I grew up in Hawaii and almost always lived within driving distance of the Pacific coast. There are four sections of the coast that I have been drawn to: Oregon Coast (primarily Astoria), Mendocino, Big Sur, Morro Bay, and Laguna Beach/Crystal Cove. I have photographed other coasts in Italy.
