Decided to live this weekend like it might be my last on planet earth, and it was a very fine time.
Saturday was endless great music in the car, too many cappuccinos, and 2 beautiful coastal sites that we drank in until sunset. First up was our favorite park, Point Lobos, south of Carmel. The lot was full, but strangely the paths did not seem crowded. We wondered where all the people had gone. Saw two distant otters and several of this year's harbor seals. Spent a lot of time in the grove with the old lichen covered twisted trees and enjoyed the views inland and out to sea. Such an amazing place!
Tom spotted a Townsend's Warbler and I got two mediocre shots of it before it flew and hid. Nice little bird, and the first time we have seen one, but I was pretty sure of what it was anyway.
From there we traveled north to Sunset Beach and had a great long walk. Virtually noone ventures beyond maybe 300 feet of the picnic area at this beach, so again it was like we were on our own completely. However a large crowd did show up to watch and photograph the sunset , which was gorgeous.
