INSPIRATION AT POINT LOBOS

Yesterday my friend, David Molesky (wonderful painter) and I went on a short walk through Point Lobos State Reserve for inspiration and the general satisfaction one gets lollygagging on a nature hike.  Here are some pictures I took...
  
SPANISH MOSS

I love the way Spanish Moss makes the branches look like chandeliers.



ORANGE ALGAE ON CYPRESS


DETAIL OF ORANGE ALGAE

The algae gets its beautiful rust orange color from beta carotene and helps the Cypress get moisture.


STINK BUG!


CROW

I love the backs of birds.  It's neat how the feathers are still so reminiscent of reptile skin.



THIS GULL LOOKS PRETTY CONTENT
