More Wild Horses

Sure wish I was a horse person to appreciate this but I'm not.. We joined the hikers this week to go to Pebble Beach (no, not the golf course) and we ran into more horses and this time with a foal. The mares wouldn't let us close to it but it was neat. We also got to witness a fight between a gang of young stallions (Equine Hooligans). Didn't want to get too close to that one.









Walking back along the river bed, we saw a Great Blue Heron land on the top of a large tree. It was kinda neat to watch it hovering down but then we realized that the tree had another 10 to 15 herons in its branches. The water was real low & in small pools so we figured it was their fishing lookout. No one had ever seen herons clustered like that. Not a great place to be a frog (or a newt).........................


Not sure about more hiking though. The park rangers were putting the "Beware of Rattlesnakes" signs back out. Apparently they hibernate all winter but start to re-appear as it gets warmer...YIPPEEE !!
