More California Coast

Well, I've been asked to share more shots from our trip to California. I squeezed off some 800+ images, so I won't bore you with ALL of them. :-) But here's a few I liked.

The first one is at sunrise on the California coast, just below our Inn at Cambria. I was laying on a rock ledge with the camera jammed into a crevice to hold it steady during the looong exposure, which is what gives the water that silky appearance. I traveled EXTREMELY light this trip...no tripod. The second is Cami and Mom enjoying the view at Ragged Point. We had a nice lunch at their outdoor eatery there with it's fresh air and friendly birds. The third is the Neptune Pool at the famous Hearst Castle. What an AMAZING place! The fourth is me in front on Nikon's west-coast branch. I had to pick up an order. So Dad and I stopped there one morning when the girls gave us the morning to ourselves! ;-) The last one is of Cami and I on the Santa Monica Pier a few hours before we headed home. Mom & Dad took us to dinner at this cool restaurant at the very end of the pier on our way to the airport. Needless to say, we had an AWESOME trip and can't wait to go back and explore more of the California coast.
