Was itching to go somewhere and have a proper photo shoot day, so I looked up things to do in Carmel and happened upon a place called Point Lobos State Reserve. Saw some cool photos on Flickr, so that's where we went last Saturday. We didn't get too far away from where we parked, but we had an awesome couple hours or so exploring the rock formations and tide pools near the spot we stopped. I think it was somewhere near Weston Beach that we spent all our time. Point Lobos is a huge park, so we barely, barely even scratched the surface of what we could do there. We'll definitely go back again sometime and get there earlier in the day so we can fit more activities in, but I was pretty content with the time we spent there that day.

All the colors and textures caught my eye. I took some photos, then rummaged around and picked a few shells as souvenirs. Later I realized that I wasn't supposed to take any shells. Oops!
After the Skaggs Springs Rd. drive, a bunch of the group went to SF for lunch, but the hubby and I were pretty tired and decided to drive home along Hwy 1.  For a bit we were in for some more spirited driving, following another S2000 that was going to the SF lunch, but via Hwy 1 instead of back down Skaggs Spring Rd.  However, we soon split off, and then found some awesome spots to stop for photos.  This is one of them.  Hwy 1 views are beautiful!
