Last glimpses

Just a few pics from the last part of the trip. Full album of photos on my Webshots page (http://community.webshots.com/user/andromeda_carina).

Not much of a shot, but I loved the textured gloom of the high fog. If you enlarge (click on pic) and look closely you can see the bit of sunlight streaming through the break in the fog.
My sis has a thing for hats on her kids. Caitlyn had the pleasure of this bunny hat on a colder day.
On the notice board in Sean's pre-school. Good idea. (Their policy is for all kids to be picked up by 2pm latest.)
More fat Harley riders. Not exactly tearing up the asphalt, they were slowing us down on the highway.
How did he do that? He didn't manage to blow out the flames, but he managed to topple one of the candles.
Grrr! Must be a love-hate relationship with strawberries. He looks like he was about to murder the pie.
This sweet baby we met at a mall was around the same age as Caitlyn but was a great deal smaller and had a great deal more hair. She was extremely sociable and kept reaching out to touch Caitlyn. Awwww.
Tom was having fun putting his sunglasses on the baby.
Sean started to get jealous so he got to don the sunnies too. He, on the other hand, refused to smile.
Pigeon Point lighthouse along Highway 1. It's some sort of historic landmark, and the view from that vantage point is really wonderful.
Sean loved the wooden walkway and kept running up and down and (gulp) trying to climb the fence.
The colour of the ocean was awesome that day. (The colour of the water varies according to conditions, e.g. fog, cloud cover, angle of the sun, etc.)
Spotted this little flock flying in formation. Too bad I missed taking a snap when their formation was more apparent from our point of view.
Can you tell I like the fence?
The water swirling around the rocks was compelling to watch.
I like this little walkway too.
I hardly take any photos with my sis every trip, so I insisted on taking at least one with her that day. If we look cold, it's because we were - it was very sunny but very windy, and wind along this coast is always cold.
Speaking of wind, we drove past a stretch of beach that is apparently popular with kite surfers. Spotted a few of them doing their sails and leaps, but this is the best picture I managed from within the car, only captured their kites.
Could see the same few from another point where we stopped (click to enlarge). A windsurfer joined in too, apparently.
The same view framed.
At the airport giving my favourite (and only) nephew a goodbye squeeze. Isn't he friggin tall for 4 years old?
Behind us is display cases used for varying little art exhibits. Strangely, the current exhibit was of Loony Tunes cartoons - on display are animation cels, sketches, toys (they looked old and/or vintage and presumably valuable) and such. Vintage Porky Pig toys are fugly.
