17 mile drive

I don't usually take this route since they require you to pay to see these sights. The 17-mile drive entails us driving through a neighborhood full of coastal mansions and private properties with the best view in the world--I guess they have reason to collect money from visitors. If I were a resident I wouldn't want to feel like a pass through by the general public. Anyway, the fee doesn't seem to deter the throng of visitors I saw along the stops.

The drive passes through a golf course where the PGA players like Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh play for a win. It is proud of its difficult course.

The famous of all stops. They call this the Lone Cypress. This part of the coast is teaming with Cypress trees.

White Cypresses = dead trees.

Trying to take water in action on film -err - shot. This took me countless takes, it's not easy to wait and keep a steady hand at the same time.

The wildlife was welcoming my aunt this weekend. She's also seen a Cayote (who posed) in Yosemite, enjoyed the stinking 300 seals that had taken resident on the side of Pier 39 in downtown San Francisco, Elks abound in the 17 mile drive neighborhood and was hoping to see a bear as well that one night in Yosemite. Glad they weren't THAT welcoming!
