California: Creative California Coast Images

I have a special affinity for the Californian landscape since I was born and raised there. It is one of the most incredibly diverse landscapes I have ever been to, including deserts, dramatic mountain peaks, rugged coastlines, and some of the most awe inspiring forests and trees in the world.

The California Coast  is home to both rugged rocky beaches and peaceful sand ocean shores. At certain times of year various animals congregate on or near the coast in great numbers including migratory birds, elephant seals, grunion (small fish), and monarch butterflies.
