Falling down laughing

The craziness never stops around here. I don’t even remember what was happening, or if she started crying after she fell. I do know that she’s laughing here! She probably didn’t fall either; she’s probably rocking back and forth. I saw this as I was going through all my January pics and knew I wantedContinue reading “Falling down laughing”

You have to walk through the forest to get to various vistas, but you get almost a 360 degree view of the surroundingContinue reading “Overview of Carmel and Point Lobos”
