THE Trip, THE Encore' :: Pismo Beach, California, The Finale'

April 3, 2013

We had a wonderful day discovering the delights of Pismo Beach, California. Drove Jolly on the beach, had a yummy lunch, got to people watch, found lots of colorful flora and a hiding fauna, and saw great beach front sights!  On the way back to camp we drove down a few "coast access" roads, being first class tourists!

The side trips came with benefits, more beauty and more photos.  This was taken in someone's front yard, someone who is a great gardener or pays his gardener very well indeed.


The road we took back to camp passed through some of the most rich, black, fertile soil I think I have ever seen.  Trying to capture it with Sony Too was a bit frustrating.  It does show in the foreground of this photo of a mountain of rock, hills, sea mist, clouds and beauty:


I think this may be my most favorite photo of the day, I'll close with it, take your time, don't rush, just soak up the beauty:
