I still had my camera on bracketing when I started to do this panorama, and didn’t realize it until we had gotten back to the B&B. I’ve done some adjustments to make it look better.

Besides Mr. Jolly Orange Feet, there are other wonders to be found at Montana de Oro State Park. We descended into a little cove onto a beach covered with sea detritus.
