Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

Today I went to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve for a hike.  It was my first visit there, and I plan to go back.   Incredible beautiful.  I walked two of their trails, then visited the interpretive center.  The top photo is of a Torrey pine, found along one of the trails I took.  

The bottom two are of a Shaw's agave, the most unusual agave I've seen, and certainly the most colorful.  They apparently are found in Baja, but rare in California.
