And to wrap up the new year's walks so far:
January 5 we went to Asilomar. It was a beautiful day, and only got more beautiful as a spectacular sunset unfurled.
 |
| Milo loves the beach: see how his ears fly! |
 |
| Looking north toward Santa Cruz in the distance |
 |
| Santa Cruz again, in the golden light |
 |
| The last of the sun |
 |
| Looking justo the left of the setting sun, same spot |
 |
| Magnificence! |
And finally, January 7: the former Fort Ord, Badger Hills entrance, which takes us up a wide gravel road to the ridge. Along the way we passed a couple herds of sheep—Dorper sheep from South Africa, we learned (the breed is from SA, not these specific sheep). Another perfect day, with a pretty good sunset.
 |
| Some of the sheep, with Toro Park in the background |
 |
| Not sure whose skull this is, with its tuft of fur |
 |
| Evening sky over Salinas |
 |
| The light gets rosier |
 |
| Dorpers |
 |
| Splendid! |
We will continue with our walks, of course, and I will continue to take photos, but for now these eight itineraries give a nice sampling of the variety of our home turf. It makes me happy to have so many options.
