Where eagles soar and swallows play,

The world below is far away.

Gemstone gardens and saphire seas,

Celebrate California with wine and reveries.

Garapata State Park by Carmel, California,

becomes nature's joyous garden high above the sea in spring time. 

All the huffing and puffing up the hill is rewarded

with spectecular vistas and wildflowers galore.
