Spring on the Pacific Coast

I'd gone to Big Sur to photograph the gray whale migration from the cliffs, but it was quite foggy. I decided to hike up the Baronda Trail to get above the fog. Once up there, it was so amazing that I had to set up for a self portrait (not a selfie!) Spring on the Big Sur Coast is spectacular!
