A few weekends ago Travis and I went to Santa Cruz for a close friend's 30th surprise party.  While we were there, we went on a hike in Wilder State Park on Highway 1 (one of our favorites!)  The ocean views are breathtaking, but hard to capture with the midday light.  Instead of posting mediocre pics of the ocean, I'll post this picture Travis took of a a long dead tree.  Beauty can be found all around us, all it takes is us stop for a moment and look for it.
