Many coastal state parks protect tidepools filled with sea stars, anemones, crabs, and other marine life 🌊 Visit tidepools responsibly and help protect these unique habitats.

Coast live oak trees are a keystone species in many California state parks, supporting hundreds of insects, birds, and mammals 🌳

Their acorns provide an essential food source for wildlife, and their broad canopies help stabilize soil and retain moisture.

A towering Coast Redwood in Humboldt Redwood State Park. This tree is well over a thousand years old and it could live beyond 2,000 years.

Monarch butterflies huddled together waiting for the sunshine to warm their souls. It’s magic to see them fluttering about at Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz before they make their journey onwards. #californiastateparks #wildlifephotography #photography #monarchbutterflies #travelohotography

Moss colonies on a Coast Redwood (Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California). These trees can live for 2,000 years and their cousins the Sierra Redwoods can live for 3,500 years!

5⭐ Cuyamaca Peak, Descanso CA
www.trailspotting.com/2025/03/cuya...

5-7 miles | Cuyamaca Peak's recognizable summit is the 2nd highest point in San Diego Co. The route up the northern flank really shines. #Hiking #SanDiego #CaliforniaStateParks #Summit #Peak #HikingAdventures #Maps #TrailRunning
The image is a stunning panoramic view from the summit of Cuyamaca Peak, which stands at 6,512 feet. It captures rugged terrain with large boulders and sparse vegetation. In the foreground, there's a wooden sign reading 'CUYAMACA PEAK 6,512 FT' alongside a metal box adorned with various stickers. A small orange generator with a solar panel on its top, a dead tree, rolling hills, and a vast sky with scattered clouds complete the scenery.

Squeezing in one more #WaterWednesday photo from today along the #SonomaCoast. When grass pollen and heat conspire to keep me in, it's time to head to the coast! (More pics to come, of course.) 💚

Refugio Beach Watchtower Number 2.

From My 2014 California trip with my very first #fujifilm camera, the X-Pro 1. I have owned at least 11 other Fujifilm bodies since then 🫢 Photography is my job though, so that's my excuse 😁

Sunset light on the horizon as the viewer is looking out to sea from an empty car park. On each side of the frame is a palm tree, with a blue watchtower and a bench in the centre space between them.
