Amy and I spent last weekend at Carmel, a long-overdue getaway that we nearly canceled. Thankfully we didn't, and we spent most of Saturday at Point Lobos, a spectacular state park just a few miles to the south. It's a stunning place, rich with California's natural weirdness. Above, the "Old Veteran" cypress, clinging to a nearly sheer cliff that drops into a narrow cove. Below, cormorants atop a haystack, studiously ignoring each other. There are a few more snapshots in my Miscellaneous photo album.
