A winter elopement at Cayucos Landing that felt like pure magic. The ocean was calm, the sunset glowed soft and golden, and somehow their “winter” ceremony was warm and perfectly still.

Just the two of them, the sound of the waves, and a sky that showed off all evening.

Central Coast winters really know how to show up.

Happy Groundhog Day! (to Jackie & Ryan ~ these beautiful two souls…but enough about their adorability)…

Let’s talk more about Groundhog Day!

The one holiday that represents…nothing. Yes, there may be some shenanigans in the selection process of the “purest” breeding practices and bloodlines of groundhogs (solid build, symmetrical features…or, maybe what it comes down to is which groundhog is the most chill and least likely to bit the guy in the pilgrim hat…what’s his deal…?) but all seems quite arbitrary.

The fact that some early settlers believed that whether or not a groundhog sees its shadow on Feb. 2nd has anything to do with the duration of winter is so stony, (however, to be fair, so too are most superstitions in cultures everywhere), I just feel like most of them actually have a story that’s cool enough to be categorized as “myth”…with a protagonist, antagonist, superhuman feats that could be performed only by “God-like” characters, plot twists, etc. Not here. It’s just a chubby groundhog coming out for a snack for no apparent reason other than we need something that casts a shadow…, and yeah, let’s pick the shortest creature so it’ll never be definitive whether or not that shadow is really there. And they can’t assess this just anywhere in Punxsutawney, PA… it must be done at Gobbler’s Knob. Great shadow-casting there. The best.

I love Groundhog Day because it is so trivial. Someone just thought, it’s been too long since MLK day, Presidents’ Day is too far away, and I sure am getting bored with winter…can we get an arbitrary holiday already? Yes. Yes, we can.
