It was a clear beautiful morning. I was working on a Christmas gift for mom and dad. 2016 family calendar with our pictures. Ok, mostly Xena’s pictures but my sister contributed a couple of her pictures as well. I gathered our stuff and got in to the car. Off we go. Destination: Terranea Resort.
We started our walk from Pelican Cove Park.

There were already a couple of people there with their cameras to capture the sunrise. Sunsets are romantic and sunrises are inspiring and motivational. We should experience both in our lives.

We had our photoshoot session.
Then we continued on the trail.

The quiet morning stroll was therapeutic. We took our time and explored it.


Path to Terranea Cove.

This is where you get to appreciate the earth and its long history.


You see how the soil horizons do not match up. Clear evidence of earthquakes. I just love looking at soil structure, color, and texture.

You might recognize the following picture from my previous post. It was here in the Terranea Cove I found the magical dog. 🙂
