Lone Cypress Tree

Lone Cypress Tree

I've lived in California, my entire life. Coastal road trips are some of my favorite parts of living here. They're amazing, and I love hanging out with my family. During Labor Day Weekend, we decided to drive the 17-Mile Drive. One of the points is the Lone Cypress Tree. I love it every time I come, because it's such a great viewing point. We almost always see cranes and sea otters in the waters below. I love the Lone Cypress Tree, because it's a sign of independence for me. It's stood by itself for so long and looks beautiful against the waters.
