Point Lobos

My first post of 2019 coming in February is pretty sad.

I have several photo excursions to post, just have avoided the edit thing.

Friedhelm and I went to the coast the last Thursday. Our first stop was Point Lobos

State Reserve. We walked in from the highway, a nice less than a mile hike on a paved trail.

Along the trail were a number of fungi. Is it a mushroom or toadstool? The names

are apparently interchangeable and there is no clear scientific distinction. Commonly anything

edible is considered a mushroom and poisonous a toadstool. 

We were lucky that there weren't a lot of tourists, however as every

photographer knows, THERE'S ALWAYS THAT ONE, who gets in the way.

The day was a little overcast and gloomy but it's still a great place to photograph

I thought the dead trees, brush and gloomy skies deserved black and white in this one.

It's amazing how tenacious nature can get. These succulents were on the protected side

of a granite hill. There were actually quite a few all in a very small area, in spots where

a little soil had collected.

And last another Seascape.

We actually went to several other spots. I hope to edit those soon but for now it's time \

to do my taxes. Ooooh, Hooo!

Go, See, Enjoy and Photograph
