So on our way back from the Hearst Castle we stopped on the shoreline to take in some wildlife we had spied cruising down the Scenic Highway 1. Do you see him/her...N thought it was the cutest thing ever...we were scared that the thing was going to bite N in the face...seriously it got that close to us. You may be saying "You stopped to see a possible rabid ground squirrel?!", you betcha!
Ok maybe not. We stopped to see these giant sun bathers ;)
Elephant Seals, probably hundreds of them up on the shore line taking in the last of the suns warmth for the day.
They sure were noisy too...loved this guy! Can you just hear him screaming "Stella!"
Awww! Look at the baby...so cute!
This guy was coming up from the water...he maybe moved 5 feet the entire time we were there...and not for the lack of trying. Someone mentioned that the big guys could weigh up to 6600lbs...that's a lot to love!
We all enjoyed getting close to nature and watching the beautiful colors in the sky as the sun slid and disappeared over the horizon.
