After our fun day at the Point Lobos National Reserve, we stopped at the nearby Monastery Beach to hang out a little bit and watch the sunset. It's so peaceful to hang out listening to the waves crash. The interesting thing about this beach is the sand has larger particles, almost like tiny, tiny pebbles, rather than miniscule grains of sand that you'd normally expect. 

BTW, it was really nice that you could park right off the highway and just walk onto the beach right there. Most other beaches we've been to have parking lots that are a slight hike away from the actual sand and surf. Too bad it isn't closer to us!

My friend's Lotus Elise... Sweet! Usually the cars you see in Polaroid photos are old classics to match the old film, but I think this new car looks quite good in Pola colors. :)
Originally taken during 'Roid Week 2010 at the Alviso Marina County Park. The color of the sun and the sky in this photo just reminds me of toffee, caramel, or amber. Love the colors from 600 film!
On a whim we drove down to Santa Cruz.  We took the long way down there -- more mountain driving for the hubby -- hung out until a little after sunset, and then drove back the more direct route.  Nice day trip.  Still can't get over the fact that we can take short trips like this to get to places like Santa Cruz or the Sonoma area.  Nice... :)
Pixel was the first to spot the squirrel in the tree outside the window. He dashed to the kitchen from his usual perch atop the bookshelves in the family room. Sprite soon followed. They were captivated by the squirrel snacking in the tree and watched until he (or she) went on his way.
Today's sunset, 4 different ways, via my iPhone 3G, Hipstamatic, and ShakeItPhoto.  Composite done in Photoshop, no other editing.
