Big Sur is rugged, majestic, breathtaking, and awe inspiring, but it is never more beautiful than in the Spring. The grass is green from the winter rains, and poppies and wild flowers bloom with abandon up and down the coast.
Here is a pictorial trip from two magical weeks spent in this slice of heaven. Photos are my own or taken by my talented daughter, Kelsey Burns.

Until next time…
Great pictures! You live in a beautiful part of the world.
Blessed to call this part of the country home. 🙂
Looks like a beautiful time you had there, just beautiful 💖
It’s always a special time when I’m there. It has my heart.
I’ve only visited Big Sur in September, but Spring looks like a fantastic time to visit!
