more pictures....monterey and pebble beach

zooming in from Cypress Point to the rocks just north of Ghost Tree.
need a better vehicle to display the photos..Canon Rebel Txi and mostly a 17-40mm ef lens. Lightroom and Photoshop. Not much of a surprise there..Get most of the really good advise from the guys at CameraWest in Monterey...

...I'll be down in the canyons by the coast if you want to try to find me...sometimes we hide in the cliffs by the seaside.

Ahhh the wisdom of the cats.....

xmas eve morning at the treehouse

A couple of animals in the yard.....

The Beginning of the Journey to Big Sur....

... on the way to Big Sur...

This is what we're looking at...no touch -up. raw.

The two of us...

We wish you a Merry Christmas and may the true spirit of the season last for more than a trip to Nordies and then Hawaii... There is so much to be grateful for. Counting our friends as blessings... The ones we talk with and those who are gone. There is more to this than meets the eye. Here's to you and yours. May you find the time to enjoy what really matters...

off Laureles Grade there is this hill...ok a few of them. The views are special
My . Dad is at the Treehouse now. He's reading "How the Swans Came to the Lake" in the living room (is there any other kind?).

..and now the new deal.......

If I were young (and 55 is not really), I'd wonder seriously about this world that is forced on us. I felt uncomfortable for so long and never knew why. On some level, I knew that most of us are sad because we have never learned to be honest with ourselves about our need to be happy. We feel one thing, alter our thinking about how we feel and then say what we hope others will want to hear. We really need each other and spend a lot of our energy in futile attempts to prove we are independent. We do awful things to each other.. War. It's the little things that knock us out everyday. 10,000 things. All interdependent. All important. If you change yourself, you change the world. Please Do it. Now. It's getting late. We need you.

arrowhead point.. Pebble. Number 7.

seems to look like a nice place to wonder around....

this is the way out of here...the way here is nice as well.
