This Sunday evening my daughter and I went on a hike.
We have not gone hiking since last summer. With temperature around 70 degrees Farenheit (around 21 Centigrade), Sunday evening was just perfect for a quick hike in one of our local trails.
Please come along in our hike!
Here is a picture of our objective: a rock formation called Lizard Rock.
Here is the trail leading up to Lizard Rock.
Here are some of the pastures along the way to Lizard Rock. The recent rains have turned the fields along the trail into a brilliant emerald green.
We are getting closer.
By the time we got to the top, the sun had begun to set, giving the sky a nice, orange glow.
After enjoying the beautiful vistas of nearby mountains, it was time to head back to the trailhead. We were two tired, but happy, hikers - there is nothing like a little physical exertion to help parent and child bond.
And finally…
In the past, I have delighted in bringing to you photographs of the waves crashing along the local beaches. The ocean’s power is an awesome sight to see and “feel.” There is, however, always an element of danger whenever man and sea meet.
These video shots, taken from Saturday’s surfing competition at Half Moon Bay (south of San Francisco) illustrate the power of “rogue” waves – and what happens when people fail to keep a proper distance from the crashing surf.

Absolutely beautiful place to go hiking. Thanks for bringing us along with you in your hike. The video of Half Moon Bay rogue waves is pretty awesome. I have been many to Half Moon Bay and it is a beautiful place even if you are not a surfer. Be careful when you take pictures of the waves, we don't want to see you dragged into the ocean. Take care.
Those pictures look more like they have been taken in Britain then in California. Shows what I know about your area don't it!
I have seen better, more in focus pictures Debbie. What happened? New Camera?
Nice to see you are doing stuff with your daughter though. Did she come back for the weekend or something?
Bye.

Templar, after the recent rains Southern California looks a lot like Ireland (or Britan) - everything is very green.
As for the photos, it was getting dark so the light was very low. I was shutting using a slow shutter speed (because of the low light). Couple that with a long telephoto lens, and the pictures are less that razor sharp. Nest time I will bring a tripod. :-)
I live near half moon bay, and Love it there. Walking along the beach, very calm. I will send you some recent pictures I took!
Thanks Debbie,
TT
