My family gets together every time my uncle, who lives in Oregon, has a significant birthday (although at 90, maybe every birthday is significant). I usually head straight up I-5 to get to Grants Pass as soon as possible, but this time I decided to leave a few days early and take the coastal route so I could photograph the Mendocino coast and the redwoods. I left early on a Sunday morning under an overcast sky, but as I neared the Golden Gate Bridge, the sky cleared. I couldn't let such an opportunity pass. I pulled into a parking lot that is the staging area for walkers and bicyclists getting ready to cross the bridge.
I had an opportunity to see how closely my new wide angle lens (Sigma 12-24) would focus.
I didn't stay long, A few photos later and I was on the road again heading to Petaluma for lunch and then west to Highway 1, Mendocino and Fort Bragg. In Fort Bragg, I made a picnic dinner walked down to Glass Beach, and relaxed among the diriftwood. This had been a long, but very satisfying first day.
Wildflowers are still prominent along the coast
and I stopped many times
to look at the scenery, and take a few photographs.

Susan, these are just beautiful. I think I have the same Sigma Wide Angle lens as you. Makes me want to drag it out and play with it!
