Welcome to Wordful Wednesday……for more information, see my handy dandy tabber box in my right side bar:
I almost titled this Wordful Wednesday, “Wordful Wednesday-The One In Which I Take Credit For Pictures I Didn’t Take”.
But then I figured, who am I kidding? Who is going to believe that I took all of these shots?
Golf Course on the 17 Mile Drive
View of the ocean on the drive
The Lone Tree
The Ghost Tree
These were taken on the 17 Mile Drive in Carmel, CA. Such an incredibly beautiful drive, one that I’ve been on MANY times but never tire of.
I took two, my husband took two. Any guesses which ones are mine?
P.S. I have a ton more pictures from this drive. Keep checking back if you are interested in seeing more!

I am guessing you took the first one and the third one. Don’t ask me why because I don’t really know!

I’m going to guess that you took the view of the ocean and the ghost tree.
All of them are beautiful and remind me that I really need to expand my picture taking from by back yard.

Looks like a beautiful drive! I’m guessing you took the last two photos. I’m dying to find out which ones you took. I’d love for you to stop by and take a look at my Wordless Wednesday post when you get a chance. I think I may have caught two ladybugs making babies. Link up while you’re there! Have a great day Angie.
