Vellela jellyfish and claw - Point Reyes Station

Point Reyes is a national park in West Marin, and it's one of my favorite places on this beautiful planet. I frequently drive out to Lementour beach, with the top down on my car and some good music in the CD player, to just relax, center myself and remember why I'm happy to be alive...

Yubert stops to ask for directions

VT has infiltrated Point Reyes! On May 25-26, Yubert and I had a mini VT meeting along the Laguna and Coast Trails, making camp at Coast Camp. I've still got the sunburn to prove it (and lots of pictures, of course). Had a wonderful time, Yubert. Thanks for coming up!

Child of Nature Part II?

Wildlife along the coast abounds. The trick is simply catching it!

Thanks for helping identify that species. I saw one, too, but didn't know the proper name for it.

Nice shots of coast of Northern California. Never went there (Marin) Nice wildlife shots but went down from SF Airport to Santa Cruz, when out there.

I am making you my honorary "Heroine of VT". This page is spectacular . The photos, tips, and commentary from a person who obviously knows how important it is to stop and look at and smell the flowers! I am in your debt! Thanks, Wayne

I have been only once to Point Reyes and was lucky enough to get a bright sunny day. The view from the light house is breathtaking!
