Orange Sunset at Breakwater

We went down to the tourist wharf for dinner this evening. The harbor was really pretty, especially as the fog started to roll in.

Big Sur with Danielle and Heather

We went down to Big Sur to check out the sights and do a little hiking. The Bixby Creek Bridge is always a favorite.
Wild, rugged coastline.
The Point Sur Lighthouse.
The support buildings on the big loaf of a rock that the Point Sur Lighthouse is built upon.

When the sea comes up a bit more, the lighthouse rock will become an island.
Down in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park along the river.

Hiking through the forest.

Looking up at the redwoods. I wonder how big the trees were before they were all logged.
The clear, cold water looks very inviting.
There was a whole flock of wild turkeys in the woods that kept gobbling at us.
Hiking through one of the meadows.
In a grove of big trees.
The understory is really lush because of all of the rain we’ve had this year.
Walking across a meadow.

There’s that inviting water again.
Sisters on the trail.
One of the many gorgeous bridges along the way.
I’m pretty sure some of those big boulders are jade.

Evening Breakwater birds

There were a couple of very pretty shorebirds out and about looking for food at Breakwater this evening. I wish I had a better zoom lens to really soak in the light so I could get crisper images. But hey, not bad for the equipment I’m borrowing from Heather!
