Yesterday my DW took me on a photo shoot at "The Self-Realization Fellowship Retreat and Hermitage Gardens" in Encinitas, California. In case you don't know where Encinitas is, and why would you, it's about 60 miles north of the Mexican border. It's in San Diego county. It's a small beach/surfer's town.
A small section the grounds is open to the public - that area is about 2 acres. It sits on top of a cliff over looking the Pacific Ocean. They have places for people to walk, sit, meditate, view their gardens, coy ponds, water falls and the Pacific Ocean.
I took 139 pictures while we were walking and viewing their grounds. I got several beautiful pictures that I will share with you in this post. Below is the walkway that takes you to the gardens. This might be my least favorite of the pictures I will post; however, with it being the entrance, in my humble opinion, it's a good place to start.
