THIS WEEKEND I TRAVELLED TO THE OCEAN AS IT WAS HOT IN SANTA ROSA . I GOT ICE IN MY CAMELBACK. TO MY SURPRISE I REALIZED IT WAS VERY COOL AT BODEGA BAY . IN FACT IT WAS 15 DEGREES COOLER. SO I STOPPED TO VIEW THE THE OCEAN AS THEIR WERE MANY PEOPLE SWIMMING IN WET SUITS AND OTHERS WALKING ON THE BEACH. BUT IT WAS VERY WINDY. I DECIDED TO WALK ALONG THE BEACH. BUT IT WAS VERY WINDY. I DECIDED TO WALK ALONG THE KORTUM TRAIL AND TO GO TO HIKE ALONG ANOTHER TRAIL NORTH OF SHELL BEACH. I MET SOME OLD FRIENDS I KNEW AND WE TALKED BRIEFLY. THEY USED TO GO TO MY CHURCH.
THE FLOWERS WERE BEAUTIFUL AND THERE WERE SMALL LILIES, SOAP ROOT, POPPIES, COW PARSNIPS, ANGELICA ROOT, SOME SAGES AND VARIOUS INTRODUCED PLANTS. THIS INCLUDED ICE PLANTS, CALA LILIES, SOME LARGE PURPLE COLUMBINE LIKE PLANTS. I NOTED SEA GULLS, PELICANS, CORMORANTS, A RED TAILED HAWK. I HEARD A COUPLE SAW THEY SAW AND HEARD SOME PERIGRINE FALCONS. I PROBABLY HIKED ABOUT 5 TO 6 MILES, AND DUE TO THE WIND I WAS EXHAUSTED. IT WAS FUN AND I WONDERED WHY THERE ARE NO SEA OTTERS ALONG THIS BEACH?
