Carmel River Beach
September 11: Monastery Beach to Carmel-by-the-Sea
A misty late afternoon walk north to Carmel River Beach and beyond
Pausing to enjoy the view
Looking back south to Monastery Beach
Pelicans feeding near the shore
The fog didn't dampen the spirits of children along the beach
Carmel River Beach, through large cypress
Carmel Beach from our turn around point
September 12: Point Lobos State Reserve
North end of Whaler's Cove
Many deer grazed in the morning fog, with few people on the trail to disturb them
Monastery Beach, starting point for yesterday's walk and a popular diving spot
Autumn colors on the central coast
The old cabin on Whaler's Cove
View north, with a distant view of Carmel Beach
Tall stands of native cypress improbably thrive on the rocky cliffs
The sun and blue sky finally emerge as the fog lifts
A beatiful cove near Bird Rock
Bird Rock in the distance, at the southern end of the reserve
