Trekking at Point Lobos Preserve

After our Whale Watching we headed south a few miles to Point Lobos and enjoyed a sunny trek around the part there.  It was a beautiful day and the wildflowers were in bloom to add to the beauty.  The colors of the water, sky and flowers were spectacular!


If you look close at the rock behind Marianne you will see some sea lions sunning themselves.  There was no sand on this beach -- it was all pebbles and rocks.

Nice view of the two inlets we hiked around.  Beautiful colors.

Across the inlet is the loan cypress that you always see in pictures of the Monterey area.  From this angle it is hard to point it out because it blends in with the other cypress trees behind it.

Hiking through the cypress grove.

This was a panoramic picture taken with the camera.  The rock in the center is the once that seals sun themselves on.  There were about a dozen there on this day.

Beach just south of Point Lobos.  Notice the lighthouse on the point of the rock.  It was not open to the public so we didn't visit it.

What a handsome couple we are! 

Blue and white and rocks and seals and a good time.

More wonderful colors as the waters rolled in and out for this cove.  It was great!!
