17 Mile Drive with Dmitri, Sul, and Violet

Dmitri, Sul, and Violet came to visit us in Monterey for a few days to check out the sights. I went with them to do 17 Mile Drive on a nice, sunny day.

Dmitri and Violet on one of the beaches along 17 Mile Drive. Violet loved playing in the sand.

A pelican gang flying along the beach.

Checking out the tide pools. Violet really liked the little hermit crabs.

Big surf along the coast at Pebble Beach.

This crazy dude actually went through the surf zone at Carmel River Beach. There was really big surf sweeping the beach that made me nervous watching.

Christmas in Shaver Lake

Poofy is enjoying her new life as a cabin kitty. After being a farm cat, she became a trailer kitten, and now she’s a cabin kitty where she gets to sleep all day next to the fireplace.

Another beautiful sunset at Shaver Lake. The colors in the trees are really pretty this time of year.

Looking at the sunset from the other direction as the sun sinks low in the west.

I thought I had taken photos of the Christmas tree, the trains, Dmitri and Sul’s adorable daughter, Violet, and my parents but I was enjoying the moment so much that I never got around to taking any additional photos!
