I'm going to post a few pictures that I thought turned out pretty cool, and as before the rest of the photos will be located here.
This post will be under construction as I lay out the basics, so if you happen to see it and it looks a little fucked up, then maybe you check this blog too often :P
I took this on the way to Santa Cruz, but I don't remember how close I was. You don't really see things like this in southern California, especially not Van Nuys. I thought it was pretty neat looking.
The beach I mentioned, with that rock formation that I thought was so cool. It was like a little grotto or something. Most of this is not visable during high tide, and a lot of the sealife we encountered was living on the wall of that structure at a point where, normally, it would have been underwater.
Another shot up close. Notice the muscles clinging to the rocks, and the seaweed stuff growing on the other rocks. I assume when the tide is high those are floating straight upwards, but are still attached to the rocks.
A doorway to the coast. Like I said, most of that is underwater normally, you can even see where the cutoff is.
A not-so-giant enemy crab.
Its hiding!
Barnacles living on Muscles living on the rock formation at sea. I think this says a lot about coexistence. :P
Starfish! We saw lots of these.
Edward looking at the rocks and ocean. See all that green stuff? More of what I started calling "funky rock hair"
This is when we were in the woods. Edward relaxing at the stream.
We found a little rickety bridge, and I made Edward cross it because he weighs less than I do, and when I was on it I got scared it might crack under me. It had nothing to do with the field mouse that came out of the bridge. (I wanted to pet that thing!)
Thats about as far as I got before I decided I didn't want to break the bridge.
One of the many springs along the stream.
I wanted to climb up this fallen tree, but it went about 10 feet into the air at its highest point, and got pretty narrow, and Edward didn't think it was a good idea. My balance is not so great.
And as I said above, you can look at the rest of the photos here.
Also, I managed to find the forest we were in on Google's street view. You can check that out here. This is where we entered the forest, after parking the car about 100 yards back down the street on a dirt patch with some mailboxes.
