Every turn revealed a view even more spectacular than the last
A picture is worth a thousand words

A couple more rocky paths... had to watch my step!

One of the sights I was most looking forward to visiting was, Point Lobos Just south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, it's at the north end of of the Big Sur coast of the Pacific Ocean. ![]() I started at The Tuck Box, with a great little box lunch consisting of a turkey sandwich, fresh fruit and a scone. I then called Uber service for a ride to Point Lobos. They dropped me off at the park entrance and my journey began...It was as if I'd entered a different world. The paths were not as easy as I first thought, but they were manageable for me. I'm glad I'd starting walking a month before this trip, even if it was only a couple miles a day. I think it helped. The next open view, I could see harbor seals sunbathing on the shore Every turn revealed a view even more spectacular than the last I was also amazed at the flowers and plant life that grew amongst the rocky terrain A little lizard ran across my path, and startled me for a moment. I'm not used to seeing them running around. I tried to get a picture, but it moved too fast! I couldn't wait to visit the Cypress Grove Trail, since one of my favorite things here are the cypress trees I haven't written as much in this post, because I think the pictures speak for themselves. It was so gorgeous, there are just no words words to describe it... A picture is worth a thousand words![]() A couple more rocky paths... had to watch my step! ![]() What an amazing sight, seeing the forest, meadow and sea together All together, I walked about four miles of these tranquil paths. This is one place, I cannot wait to visit again and explore more of the beauty of nature, Point Lobos has to offer!

Beautifully done...thank you for the view through your eyes and perspective...Robert Louis Stevenson based 'Treasure Island" on what he saw during his long stay here. (His then residence over in Old Monterey is open to the public.) Clint Eastwood says he could live anywhere but will never leave...he loves and protects the nature. I think in addition to presenting beauty, you do the same with this post.
