Milo was cat in a previous life; he still feels the need to sleep in the sun across the floor in the morning.

Trestles Surf Beach

2009-06-14T03:38:13Z

Trestles Beach -- is an icon of Southern California and part of the San Onofre State Park System. Famous for it's many, many breaks -- Uppers, Middles, Lowers -- the orientation the surf breaks and the way the beaches run along with the breakers ensures you don't have to swim very far, and that the waves break super long.

Trestles Beach entrance is walking through the train trestles

Gladiolus Boats and Sunsets

Jeni with Her Glads

Is that The Dana Point Frigate, Ahoy

On the weekends we can often see several dozen boats off the coast from our vantage point. It has become customary to yell Ahoy! whenever you spot the Dana Point Frigate (not actually picture). As is the case in this photo, there are often false alarms (no Frigate).

Our Epiphyte Collection

the Sun sets over land

If you compare this sunset photo from the ones taken back in March it makes it drastically clear how far the sun shifts from Winter Summer. Before it was setting south of Santa Catalina Island, now it Sets over Dana Point/Laguna Beach
