Julie Pfeiffer Burns State Park

When visiting Julie Pfeiffer Burns State Park in Big Sur, CA, there are two scenic sites on the ocean side of Highway 1.  The most sought after and well worth the trip to and $10 parking at the Park is McWay Falls.  But at the end of the viewing trail for the falls is a nicely shaded rest area with a few benches which also has a great view of the coastline North of the park.

Photo #117 (Below) is the best shot I was able to capture of this view.

I really liked the heart-shaped look of the surf/beach... tried to focus in on that in Photo #116 (Below)

What you couldn't tell from the above pictures was that there was a broken tree branch hanging right down in front of THE shot.  Jason says he likes this look-thru-the-branch view of Photo #108 (Below)... but I think it's distracting.

I was trying really hard to catch a Pterodactyl....I mean Pelican, for all you non-Jurassic park fans.  But Photo # 107 (Below) was the ONLY shot I actually captured one in, and its not in good focus.
