My daughter and I were walking the upper trail when she stopped and said "whoa!" Glad she spotted this Cooper's Hawk, we were pretty close and might have spooked it if we wandered any closer.

La pointe de Trévignon, sur laquelle se dresse une villa-château (propriété privée), s'avance dans l'océan en direction du sud-ouest, et constitue le point le plus au sud de la commune de Trégunc2. Le port de Trévignon est protégé par une jetée équipée d’un phare. En son centre une construction sur pilotis abrite le canot de la SNSM. La pointe de Trévignon est entourée de petites plages et constitue le point de départ pour la visite de la zone naturelle protégée des étangs de Trévignon

Trégunc [tʁegœ̃] est une commune du département du Finistère, dans la région Bretagne, en France. C'est l'une des communes les plus étendues du Finistère, qui regroupe de nombreux villages ou hameaux. On peut mentionner plusieurs plages de sable fin, une zone naturelle protégée pour la faune et la flore autour des marais de Trévignon.

La commune de Trégunc est située sur le littoral Atlantique, dans le Finistère, au sud de Concarneau et à l'ouest de Pont-Aven. Le bourg, situé à l'intérieur des terres, occupe une position excentrée au nord de la commune.

Le finage communal est délimité à l'ouest par le fleuve côtier Minaouët et l'Anse du Moulin à Mer ; au nord il longe la D 122 qui traverse le hameau de Croaz Hent Bouillet, partagé avec les communes de Melgven et Concarneau ; au nord-est le ruisseau de Kerfrances et le ruisseau du Moulin de Kergunus, tous deux affluents de rive gauche du Minaouët, servent de tracé à la limite communale avec Pont-Aven (avec en fait l'ancienne commune de Nizon) ; à l'est la limite communale avec Névez suit pour partie le tracé du ruisseau de Dourveil.

La présence de plusieurs petits fleuves côtiers déjà cités pour ceux qui servent de limite communale, mais d'autres ont leur cours totalement dans la commune de Trégunc comme ceux qui aboutissent aux plages de Trez Cao et de La Baleine, et de leurs affluents entraîne un relief assez vallonné car ils échancrent le plateau par ailleurs en pente générale vers le sud, les zones les plus élevées se trouvant au nord de la commune, atteignant 84 mètres d'altitude à l'est de Kerstrat et même 88 mètres à l'est de Cros Hent Bouillet. Le bourg, ainsi que toute la partie médiane du territoire communal, se trouve vers une quarantaine de mètres d'altitude ; la partie méridionale, proche de l'Océan Atlantique se trouve vers une vingtaine de mètres d'altitude, par exemple autour des hameaux de Trévignon, Saint-Philibert et Kersidan.

Le littoral de Trégunc est très découpé : à l'ouest, limitrophe de l'ancienne commune de Lanriec, désormais de Concarneau, l'Anse de Pouldohan est une ria aux multiples indentations, se subdivisant principalement en deux parties principales : la branche nord-est forme l'Anse du Moulin à Mer, qui se prolonge en amont par la ria du Minaouët, et qui possède elle-même une ramification, l'Anse de Kerambreton ; la branche sud-est, séparée de la précédente par la Ponte de Grignallou, l'Anse de Pouldohan stricto sensu se subdivise elle aussi, sa partie orientale formant l'Anse de Ster Greich. Peu profonde, l'Anse de Pouldohan découvre largement à marée basse.

The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is the first full-size Chinese or "scholars" garden built outside of China, and is located in Chinatown in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at 578 Carrall Street and consists of a freely accessible public park and a garden with an admission fee. The mandate of the garden is to “maintain and enhance the bridge of understanding between Chinese and western cultures, promote Chinese culture generally and be an integral part of the local community.”[1]

 

The garden was built in 1985-1986. The outer park was designed by architects Joe Wai and Donald Vaughan, while the inner garden was conceived by Wang Zu-Xin as the chief architect, with the help of experts from the Landscape Architecture Company of Suzhou, China. Funding for the project came from the Chinese and Canadian governments, the local Chinese community, and other public and private sector sources, and it opened on April 24, 1986, in time for Expo 86.[1]

 

Because the climate in Vancouver is similar to that of Suzhou, many of the same plant varieties are found in the garden as in its Suzhou counterparts. The plants were chosen according to their blossom schedules in order to emphasize seasonal changes, especially the “awakening” in spring. They are also selected to invoke the symbolic, historical, and literary meaning of each plant and are used sparingly, in contrast to western gardens, and provide colour through all the seasons.[1]

Point Pinos was named by the Spanish explorer Sebastian Vizcaino in 1602 during an exploration of the California coastline for the Count of Monterrey, the acting Viceroy of New Spain (Mexico). The name Punta de los Piños translated to "Point of the Pines", an appropriate designation for the thickly wooded northern tip of the Monterey Peninsula where the pines grew almost to the water's edge. The Franciscan missionaries explored the point from their camp near the Carmel River in 1769.

The whole Rancho Palos Verdes area of Los Angeles is very scenic- I had never visited it before this trip. The island in the distance is Santa Catalina Island- we were there the day prior to this picture, many of the pictures I've already uploaded in the past week.
