I considered camping this week in San Simeon – and decided not to.  Instead, I headed up Highway 1 today, thinking I’d get up to Cambria and the Elephant Seal Reserve. 

Squirrel!  I saw Harmony Headlands en route and chose to explore the coastal park – with my camera in hand.  Although the hike is not long – and the beginning trail from the road to the coast is a bit monotonous – once I saw the ocean, I was so happy I made this choice!  The fog rolled in and out, along with the waves.  Birds, flowers, bees delighted me.  Below are a few of my favorite photos from today.
