My Pop color of this week is a more local pop. Bioluminescence in the Bay Area.
I got to go night kayaking and see the water lit up with electric blue. It was gorgeous. As I was sitting there with my feet in the warm water at 9pm. I looked up and saw millions of stars overhead. And I couldn’t help but sigh.
How. Lucky. Are we.
Where else in the world are you about 4 hours or less away from so many natural phenomenons. It’s gotten to the point where I see a reel about something rare and crazy somewhere in the world, and I’ll just look up where in California it is. And 99% of the time, there actually is something similar in California!
How. Lucky. Are. We.
From lava and glacier geometric weirdness in the Sierras, to caves, and redwoods, and oceans. Mountains and deserts to snowy peaks.
I find myself falling more and more in love with California all the time. The more I can explore, the more I can appreciate.
Shout out to that one lady who was cleaning out her garage last year and listed her paddleboard on fb marketplace for $40. You opened up such a fun door for me and my pup. (Also yes. The pup jumped in. And I was seriously considering joining.)
