Today's photos will be flowers and other miscellaneous stuff I took a photo of. I was planning on putting this toward the end of my Point Lobos photos, but I think some of the flowers I took a photo of turned out great! So, pretty much, all the tiny, macro photos out of the way first before I start the scenery stuff. :) I hope you enjoy the photos!

This looks like a Hottentot Fig (Carpobrotus edulis). Not too sure though.

I don't know the name of this flower. Couldn't find it. If you know the name, please help me out!

Monterey Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja latifolia)

Rock formation on the ground. I thought it was a nice shape! The rocks there are shaped by the seawater.

Let's just call this yellow flower... That's right, no clue what it is. LOL

Sticky monkey-flower (Mimulus aurantiacus)

Finally named one! HAHA

If you enjoy photography, I would recommend getting a camera bag. Here are some recommendations!

The flower fields... I was actually debating if I should put this with my scenery photos or put it with the flower photos here. In the end, I put it here. :)

Another photo the rock formations.

This is the seal island zoomed out a bit. Remember the seals you saw in my first post?

This is all the photos for today! I hope you have enjoyed these photos. For the next 2 posts, I have decided to split my scenery photos to a regular photos and a HDR post because I have quite a lot of scenery photos.
