Sonoma Coast State Park (Cellphone Photos) - Sonoma County, CA

On 7 May 2023, my mom and I took a day trip to Sonoma Coast State Park in Sonoma County, CA. We went to the various beaches in the state park, took a hike along Red Hill Trail, and visited Bodega Bay, Jenner, and Duncans Mills, CA. We saw the Russian River, harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), and lots of wild flowers. I took photos with my cellphone and mirrorless camera. The photos are split into 4 blog posts (I took most of the photos on my mirrorless camera). I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

These photos were shot on my cellphone. This blog post is going to be somewhat short, because I shot most of the photos on my Olympus mirrorless camera. All of the photos in this blog post were shot in Sonoma Coast State Park.
