Valerie artfully has put together a charcuterie box for this afternoon's picnic
Make that FOUR boxes of pure goodness
For dessert, she's been dipping strawberries in chocolate and also some with nuts...not to mention she baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies!
This is the first time Valerie and I have parked at Abalone Cove Shoreline Park. Previously, we hiked (and I sometimes ran) to here from a nearby neighborhood, but today we plan to have our picnic in this park AFTER our hike.
This may be the first time I have parked the X on gravel
East Beach at Abalone Cove
We head over to the Tide Pools
I pretty much have to rely upon the S21's zoom when looking into the Tide Pools
Mark on the rocks
I really have to remember that the phone favors near detail unless I select to focus on distance ones
The Pro camera in ultra-wide is fixed focus, so I don't have to worry about those
I didn't see any purple sea urchins last time
Nor did I see a sea slug
Those crazy rocks
Again, phone focuses on the plants in the foreground
