Carmel Meadows trail

This is a favorite place of mine. Exquisite aquamarine water and unpopulated sand. Last year I was on the path looking out and saw the fins of about 30 creatures that I didn't recognize at first. Then to my utter joy 5 or 6 of them started leaping up out of the water and there the beautiful white and black of their magnificent bodies was revealed. I was alone but so excited I yelled up to the workers on one of the houses, MIRA. MIRA, MIRA! The most wonderful thing I have ever seen! Even today after all this time I weep just thinking about it.
