Goin’ to California (and back)
Here are some pictoral highlights from a weeklong sojourn in California, the sunniest blue state there is:
The San Diego zoo is amazing, I spent almost a full day there. The big cats are my favorite, they’re actually aware of crowds and come right up to the cage. I’m sure they just want to play.
Meekrats and their ilk are just the cutest of all animals. This guy is acting as a sentry, though what could possibly threaten their idyllic existence (tunnels, tunnels galore!) is beyond me.
Sunset at beautiful Coronado Beach.
The first of many photos I took along a six-hour drive on the Pacific Coast Highway. Absolutely incredible scenery that I cannot do justice here.
Another beautiful Pacific coast vista.
The road is long and winding, with majestic mountains rising straight up from the curbside opposite precipitous drops to the blue waves. I tried to convey a sense of that scope with this photo.
While parking next to the solitary Big Sur trail open to the public, I was amused to see this license plate. Apparently this Suburu owner thinks his car is as swift as Shadowfax.
A pretty typical Golden Gate Bridge photo, but I do like how the colors came out, big reds and greens and blues.
