Reflection

Yet another Point Reyes beach picture.

You see pictures all the time of mountains reflected off of still lakes, city-scapes reflected off of rivers, but I'll bet this is the fist time you've seen anything reflected off the ocean.

This was during an extreme low tide, about 30-40 yards out in the water. Two inches deep, all the to the sand.

Stump

This picture was taken back in late March on Wildcat Beach in Point Reyes.

This is the root system of a pine tree that has been floating out at sea for a while, weathered and smooth from water and sand.

It's got a lot of texture, contrast, and many areas that holds one's attention.

Heavy Load

Today's pic is of yours truly, heading into Point Reyes National Seashore back in late March. I estimated my total pack weight at about 80lbs.

Each year, I get together with a bunch of friends at Wildcat Camp in Point Reyes for a five-day weekend. We've been going to the same place, the same weekend in March, rain or shine, for twenty years now. It's just an amazing place, on a bluff overlooking the ocean - and the beach is real nice too. Perfect place for a little R&R. I needed it after lugging that load the seven miles into camp.
