Lone Cypress

I haven't been in scrapbook mode for quite sometime. Laziness has eaten me up... and since it is a new year, i am trying to get back on track :) Below is a really simple layout using the Spontaneous collection from Shabby Princess.


These photos were taken at Pebble Beach in California, in the famous 17 mile drive along the coast. The Lone Cypress, as it is known for, is perched over the Pacific for hundreds of years. Even though Monterey cypress trees prefer this area's rugged, bare, granite headlands, the Lone Cypress is a testament to the hardiness of these trees. It has withstood Pacific storms and winds for roughly 250 years. Fences and cables now offer added protection in the hopes it will live to be 300.
