California Pic Spam

I am at SFO waiting for my flight to depart. No deep thoughts or musings (I know, you're crushed), just a lot of pictures and some great memories. I've been beautifully spoiled in my stopover here in San Francisco. Went in to the city one night for dinner and had some gorgeous weather before the fog rolled in.

Over the weekend we went down to my Aunt and Uncle's cabin in Big Sur by way of the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

There was a deer hanging out on the driveway into the cabin, we got quite close before he decided it was time to be moving on.

The view from Nepenthe, which is very similar to the view from the cabin:

The next morning my Uncle and I went to McWay Falls.

On the way back, we saw a young bobcat on the side of the road (apologies for the poor quality of the picture, I was too busy watching to worry about taking pictures). We pulled over to watch, and the little one came quite close to us. I really hope it found its way safely away from the road!

We stopped in Carmel on the way back to walk on the beach and go to dinner where my Aunt and Uncle had had their wedding reception many years earlier.

My plane leaves in about half-an-hour. The next round of pictures will be from New Zealand, with any luck at all!
