Third bunch o' Pictures

These take us to the beach at noon, then to the lighthouse that evening, through to the botanical gardens the next day.



dear Ricardo staring off into the ocean. This was a lovely beach, actually. It had a large river coming to meet the ocean that was warm and shallow and lots of people swam in it. And the actual beach/ocean part featured clean warm sand and good views of amazing waves. That was fun. We were heading to glass beach, though, so we didn't stay really long. Glass Beach is the site of the old dump that closed one or two hundred years ago. All the trash is gone, but the glass bottles have gotten broken and tumbled in the sand and water until they are small and smooth. The ground is covered with glass fragments. People collect them, even though you're not supposed to. Blue glass is very rare. Mainly white, green and amber glass.



This is my most amazing picture. It is one of the light houses, I think Point Cabrillo, at sunset. If you look closely you'll see I caught the flash of the lighthouse and a plane going by on the left. Isn't that cool!?!



A beautiful and fancy fuschia in the botanical gardens.

A field of sunspot in the gardens.
