Dang-ers!

Ah heck! The strap on our camera broke, sending it plummeting to the wicked-hard rocks of a Santa Cruz county coastal tide-pool. I would characterize it as "broken" and "screwed up".
That' wasn't the only crappy thing that happened on our Saturday trip down California's historic Highway 1.
While on that particular adventure we also encountered a terrifying sea-creature we will refer to as the 'Sea Anus' (horrifying photo included). It was about the size of a small dog, and lazily attempted to digest my flip-flop. A shocking encounter to be sure, with one of nature's most revolting creatures. Alright, that was a bold-faced lie. This thing was small, like a disgusting little donut-hole. I shudder to think what would have happened to the human race if these things were indeed the size of small dogs. It's unlikely that we, as a species, would have put up with that for very long, choosing instead to leap to our collective deaths, our bodies smashed against the very rocks that these vile creates thrive on. Luckily enough, mother nature kept these baby's small.
Actually we had an excellent time on Saturday. I'll end with a beautiful image of Gussie facing the ocean and not backing down. Not even for a second.
