Reader Photo: Starry night at Refugio State Beach

Ric Berryman was camping with friends at Refugio State Beach in Santa Barbara in May. The sky was filled with stars, he said, so he grabbed his camera and headed to the beach to take a few images. His shoot was cut short by a skunk, but he happened on this lifeguard tower on his way back to camp.
