We were driving along when we saw another ostrich...

Ok, just another day of awesome views and I was trying to take pictures of old cars from the sixties when right next to the road was an ostrich. We stopped the car, I got out and was trying to take pictures while he was trying to ignore me.
Then beth pointed out that the ostrich wasn't the only critter in the field.

While I was taking pictures, Randy & Gloria stopped to take pictures too,

Central Coast, Beth's quick picks

Beth quickly chose some photos from the central coast while I was loading the car.

The natives are a little different here...



Oh and did I mention that we saw some
Elepant Seals?


We spent a VERY long time just looking at them.






By the way, I took about
3 gigs of pictures.
I even took movies for the first time.

I haven't really had a reason to use
the movie feature of the camera before
but these things move like a tube of Jello
with teeth. Really cool.
We have to go to the exploring now so
I will put an assortment on here a
little later.

The Pacific Ocean

2007-06-20 12:57p PST


As we walked away from Coney Island I mentioned to Beth that she wasn't going to see the ocean again until we were at the Pacific. She was good with that. Well here we are.

Wonderful.
