In every walk with nature

...one receives far more than he seeks. ~John Muir
 

A few more images from my trip to the Central Coast.

I took many walks around the neighborhood where my parents live, and hiked in the canyon behind their house. In the past I've seen deer, coyotes and a fox while exploring creekside. This time, the canyon was empty.

For three days straight it poured with rain. I didn't even mind it.

      Keith, you've got to come out west sometime, yah?
      I feel the same. Visiting your site is always interesting
      and thought provoking and peaceful.

      Jeansy, I might just swing by and pick you up next time!! I'd love to beach comb with you. We could bring your friendly felines, since they're so accustomed to following behind like good boys.
      I know... that turkey was awesome.

    That giant pinecone is gorgeous! We don't have anything like that on the east coast.

      Hey Natasha! Nice to see you!
      My mum's from Liverpool. I enjoy seeing your pictures
      and hearing about your jaunts in GB.
      Someday I will get to visit London and places in between.

    Love the turkey trot! And that pine cone! Greg found a huge pine cone for me in Italy - I snuck it back to Oklahoma with me. lol.
    Not quite as large as yours though! Wow! And did you sneak it back with you? ;)
