Point Lobos, Carmel California

Point Lobos, a State Park in Carmel California took only a few million years to make. 

It's shows doesn't it?

My husband and I recently took a morning hike in this place during our "Get-Away" from kids to celebrate 25 years of marriage.

I'm not a hiker by nature, but with these views I could quickly become one.

This is a trail leading through an old Cypress Forest. 

The colors and drama of nature were stunning. Red moss! Who knew such a thing existed?

(To see some before and after versions of this photo, see my other posting titled: Red Moss /Photoshop Before and After).

I couldn't pass by this little guy without getting a picture. 

My son will be happy to see this lizard and he will ask if I held.

I'll respond, "I tried. But failed. It was too fast."

It's true!

During this shot, my husband was feeling uneasy about how close I got to the edge of the cliff.

He was yelling at me, "Monica, what are you doing?"

 

"Oh nothing honey. Just testing the waters. I'm fine. Stop worrying. Let me get my photos."
