A drive over the 92 to Half Moon Bay finds this ocean town in full bloom. It's just two weeks before the pumpkin festival and the fall colors are everywhere. A pumpkin stand on Highway 1 is bursting with blooms in yellow, orange and red. Sunflowers show their cheery faces to the traffic and invite travelers to stop and shop for a pumpkin.
A short way further down the road, fields of stocks, bachelor buttons and yarrow are in bloom under the warm afternoon sun, a lovely foreground to the fields beyond where horses watch for visitors driving along their ranchside road.
Surveying all from its perch on a power line high above sits a red-shouldered hawk. It's a beautiful day at the ocean and a wonderful time to enjoy the warm fall weather before things cool off and the rains begin.
