I've never ridden by the ocean (yet!) but that would be awesome!

I'd love to bike tour up the coast of Maine and then into New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It would be heavenly!!!
Those pictures from the Bay Area are just lovely! I once had an opportunity to teach at a school in Napa and I sometimes think back and say "Dannng!" to myself.
It's just so beautiful!

Creve Couer Lake wildlife
There are approximately 4 wild turkeys that sit in the field across from where we park. They are too far away to photograph. However, down the path, one took flight and barely missed the rider in front of us. Occasionally a few deer and lots of wooly worms, bunnies, and geese. But I doubled back to take this pic, JUST FOR YOU GUYS. Apparently these three herons can't read the "No swimming" sign. (Wish I'd had my camera instead of just my iphone).

I love seeing the herons, ducks, geese, rabbits, squirrels, turtles, etc. One time a beaver ran out of the water right in front of me. I didn't get his picture.

I rode by a new lake today. There were hundreds of geese everywhere!
There was also an old restored school house. It was locked so I couldn't go in, but I took pictures through the windows.

The geese are hilarious. I'd swear that's Creve Couer Lake. They are very brave and hiss if you make eye contact. They've actually brought the bike riders to a stop and caused a back up! I've had one flap its wings at me, and I'm pretty sure they could knock me off my bike. Bike bells work best--I keep threatening to put one on my road bike
