Wow, it has been quite a while since my last post. I would love to say that it's been so long because I have been keeping extremely busy with outdoor adventures, but unfortunately that has not been the case. I did manage to go rock climbing and mountain biking yesterday, but other than that I haven't had too much time to spend in the outdoors lately.
About two months ago I was able to spend some time in California, much needed vacation. While I was there I spent some time at Crystal Cove State Park. For those of you who have been there you know how beautiful the State Park is. It's filled with wonderful beaches and a pretty landscapes. Most people go to the beach to lay out in the sun, play in the water, etc. Those activities are fun, but I had a more enjoyable time admiring all the different forms of life around me, and seeing how many I could find. Living in Utah doesn't give me the opportunity to go to the beach much, so this was a great chance for me to be in a new environment and really admire the different plants and animals I don't usually see. Sometimes we get so used to what is around us that we forget to really 'see life.' Here are some of the things I was able to find at my day at the beach! Let me know what you think.
