Palos Verdes

About a month ago, I visited my cousin Florence, and her husband, Al, in Redondo Beach, CA. We took the gorgeous scenic Palos Verdes Drive to explore the coastline and nature trails in that area. We actually went through a luxury resort called, Terranea, to get to the ocean trails. The days we went were cool and overcast but perfect for walking and exploring.

I've posted pictures from PV on Facebook and here I've included watercolors inspired by the tide pool expedition we went on :)

I believe this is called Bluff Cove. The trail from the cliff leads down to this secluded cove, walled on both sides by large rocks. We climbed them to get into the cove itself, which was very cool, and collected some rocks as we got splashed by incoming waves. You can see the cove to the far right in this drawing, with people here and there on the rocks.
