Inspired by Summertime Adventures {Earrings-of-the-Month}

Every summer my family and I take a 10-day, 1000+ mile jaunt around Northern California, visiting state parks, camping, hiking, and making memories with the boys that will – hopefully – instill in them a love of the outdoors. And it is from this annual adventure that I drew inspiration for this month’s creations. These were photos from years past as I knew an early August return from this year's trip wouldn't leave me enough time to create and get them in the mail on time to my earrings-of-the-month subscribers. But as our route changes only slightly, with us picking different parks at which to camp, I know we will have done a lot of these same things this year.

Some remind me of sifting through sea-tumbled stones and glass on the beach...
inspired by...
Beachcombing at Patrick's Point State Park

Some remind me of looking skyward beneath the redwood giants...


inspired by...
 Redwoods National Park


Some remind me of the hellishly hot, rugged lava beds...
inspired by...
 Spattercone Trail, Lassen National Forest

And some remind me of late-blooming wildflowers...
