Big Sur snapshots

The Aging Hippie pointing out whales swimming up the coast (which I failed to see):

Lupins on which a hummingbird had landed a minute earlier:

We saw some hills...

climbed to the top of one not so high (notice Highway 1 in the bottom of the valley between the trees):

avoided the ubiquitous poison oak:

saw a redwood that had survived a forest fire:

napped on the beach:

found a great place for breakfast:

and enjoyed more views:
