Album Florida & California from LightSpectral

Taking a rest...

nobody@ipernity.com (LightSpectral) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 07:58:30 +0000

I am back from my trip to Florida and California - in just 10 days. I am still recovering from the 9 hours time difference. Had a wonderful time with my sister and her family - despite the rain in California (also had some wonderful sunny days there).
So I am still taking a rest ... if you like just joyn me on this wonderful bench - overlooking the ocean.

Who said it never rained in California?

... crossing Asilomar State Beach.

Asilomar State Beach is a narrow one-mile strip of sandy beach and rocky coves. It is within the boundary of Asilomar Marine Reserve. Across from Asilomar State Beach is the Asilomar Natural Dune Preserve. One of Asilomar’s landmark stiles stands at the gateway to this preserve. A ¼ mile boardwalk meanders through the 25 acres of restored sand dune ecosystem. Discover the native plant greenhouse where more than 450,000 plants, representing 25 species have been grown and planted in the dunes and coastal bluffs.The boardwalk also leads park visitors to the Asilomar Conference Grounds. Asilomar originated as a woman’s summer camp and conference facility out of the inspired vision of a handful of resourceful, socially-concerned and committed women of the YWCA in 1913. Its historic buildings were designed by California architect Julia Morgan. It has been owned and operated by State Parks since 1956. (This is the place I stayed with my sister and her family).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

A typical Monterey Bay Aquarium shot ;-)
The jelly fish aquariums and the Outer Bay aquarium were so impressing - just fantastic!
