Lazarow World-Hike-About

When we noticed this recently, we liked the symmetry and similarity and so we thought of sharing it, a 12,000 mile relationship. From 3 Sisters, Kleinmond. From Valencia Peak, Morro Bay. Guess who? Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey

Enough to make us wish to return. Wine golfing, better than merely tasting, hey Col? Seems to spend much time in that position. Love it. However, we do see a vine out of alignment...perhaps one has to have a few drinks first to be able to spot it. This view is once the lake takes a sharp turn...seen from the high point. Also, enjoyed the flora colors. From a different angle and later time, the colors change. Lone hiker meets lone tree. Negates the above caption but still has meaning notwithstanding. Typical steep climb of the region. Symmetry? Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey

'It's a bit of a hike. Can I offer you a snack before we go?' 'Uncle Rex? Someone to meet you.' 'Let me show you the pool. My Mom looks after the garden. Never let's any of us get close.' 'That's my neighbor. She's a strange bird. She likes the mountains. Thinks she's a goat.' 'You think she's strange? That's the mate. He's a plain showoff. Proper ram he thinks he is.' Weather turned only to reverse the next day.     Never tire of these views. Got down to the water's edge...hoping it would beautify us as it does to the surrounds. No such luck.   Has its own mix and blend of colors. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey

Rather distinctive landmark, hence the name of the town, Morro Bay. Heading to that altitude although on the opposite side. 'California poppies', delightful. Getting high the old fashioned way...thank goodness. Tip-toeing through the tulips. About 40 minutes to go; at least we can now see the destination. Ducking under the moss-covered trees. Very attractive setting to compensate for the steepness. And there's the ocean. A legal stop and rest on luxury, for a change. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey  

Nice perspective from height. A visit to Montana de Oro state park is a treat. A second visit is double pleasure. It truly is a wonderful place which is further enhanced by the colors and foliage of spring. Our last visit was in winter which provided the same structure of course but different coloring. While the park is wonderful in all seasons, spring allowed for an extra treat for the senses because of the vibrancy of the features.  We followed the climb and descent with a visit to the dunes that lead into the ocean. It was a satisfying end to a day that once again set us up for a relaxing evening and the promise of a good start for the next day. We've included more than the typical number of pictures even though we've left off many that would normally qualify. It attests to how beautiful we believe the region to be. (Continues at end...) Heading to the peak of Valencia. Early stages as we hit an extremely steep section. That's the steep section which ...
