I just got back from a picnic on a hillside overlooking the ocean near Jenner. It was perfect weather, lovely company, and delicious food. There was also a wooly bear caterpillar which apparently turns into an Isabella Tiger Moth. I was excited because I hadn’t seen one of those caterpillars since I was a little kid.

It was weekend of views. Aside from spending an afternoon looking at the ocean, I went to the Sierra Mountains and visited my parents. We took a drive up the pass and I tried out the camera, which continues to amaze me. Setting actually makes a difference! It’s so fast! Details come out! I mean, you can count these pine needles:
