Moonlight PlayThe moon came up over the dunes and we had to stop and capture this image of the FJ.I knew I wanted to moon to look as large as possible so I grabbed by 100-400 lens (looking to get the depth compression with the high magnification)  and ran for the surf.  I had to go quite a bit further than I expected to get the framing I wanted.  I ultimately had to stop before I walked into the water.

Louise loves things like this.  You can see her here enjoying a glass of wine while out on the beach.
Enjoying the setting sun.
Up on the Pismo Dunes.  I was very happy with the truck.  I could drive around up and down hills out on the sand with the quads and sand buggies.
Pismo Beach
One of the places we like to visit is the valley leading up to Laurel Lake's.  This valley has Laurel Creek running through it.  You can fish the creek but the size limit is eighteen inches minimum.  This means you don't find too many fish that you can keep.
The road is quite rough getting up to the lake and when we went this time it was still covered with snow near the top.
That is Mammoth Mountain in the background.  We went for a drive on a dirt road and was servered up this view.
