Pierce Point

Recently, I talked to my mom, and she agreed to take me out on photo walks in nature more often. We put a couple days on the calendar, and the first one was on December 1st. When December first finally came, my mom took me out to Pierce Point in Point Reyes. There is a herd of tule elk that live there, and they are very photogenic; there is also a hike along the shore and the drive is amazingly gorgeous. We were driving along a very long country road and the sky was bright blue with pink tinted clouds on the horizon, the grass was amazingly green, and off in the distance you could see the shore line. The sun was shining on the water, so it looked like fog in the distance and you felt like you were going to drive into the sky. On the drive, we ran into many picturesque animals, scenes, and landscapes. The drive soon turned into the road that leads into Pierce Point. When we got there, there were elk, amazing landscapes, and lots of good pictures to be taken. I photographed the elk for a while and then we moved on to take a hike. The hike is along the cliff overlooking the ocean, I took many photos of the view. On the hike back, it was sunset and the horizon was turning orange. When we got back to out car it was dusk and on the drive home an owl flew in fornt of out car and then landed on a fence post, it stayed still just long enough for me to take a silhouetted photo. I love owls and this was a perfect end to the perfect first photo walk of many...
