High up in the hills of Catalina Island, looking back down toward the botanical gardens which is a mile south of Avalon. I believe the long, brown paths are fire zones. (64K)
Overlooking the ocean from the hills of Catalina Island. The weather was cloudy and hazy that morning, so our views were somewhat obstructed. (41K)
Nice cactus seen along the loop trail. (60K)
View of the ocean from the northeast side of the island. It was so hot that day, it felt good to soak our feet in the cool Pacific Ocean. (44K)
