Welcome to April everyone!  I took a trip to the southern portion of the great state of California and got to spend a sweet little bit of time in the “five cities” area.  One of those five cities is definitely Pismo Beach, and another is most certainly Arroyo Grande.  Beyond that, things get a little murky.  The important thing is that this land is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and how I haven’t been here more often yet I simply can’t say.  The hills are like majestic green friendly furry monsters rising out of the fields and the air is fresh and there are streams and swimming holes and oak trees and beaches that combine the best of northern and southern california into magical sparkling warm fresh peaceful pockets of paradise.

Here’s one of the many pictures I took:

Sunrise over the something-or-other hills above the five cities.  Get a load of that oak tree!!!  These babies were sparkling in the morning light and holding down the hilltop like kings.

The colors in the middle are from earlier in my trip from the side of a stucco building in Santa Monica.
