         Pigeon Point Lighthouse... |
 Foggy & mysterious! |
 Heading towards the elephant seals! |
 |
||
 |
 A little further... |
 |
|
||
 Seal! Actually, no - this comes from the backbone of a whale... |
 The island of Ano Nuevo... Thar be seals! |
 |
|
||
 |
 See the seal, hidden among the brush & sand? |
 These are all actually mostly males... The females don't start arriving till a bit later to birth, raise & wean their pups, then mate and go back to sea... |
|
||
 They're quite huge, up close... I'm told they can weigh up to 1,500 pounds... |
 Movie: Relocating... |
 Mayhaps the poor seal has drowned? |
|
||
 Movie: My territory - go away! |
 |
 They're all over the place! |
|
||
 Pretty moss... |
 Movie: Another relocation... These elephant seals don't go far... |
 The weather forecast said rain, rain, rain, but it turned out nice after all... Pretty clouds... |
|
||
 A whole beach of elephant seals & gulls... |
 Movie: Two young males play fighting... |
 |
|
||
 |
 |
 A young male... |
|
||
 |
 |
 |
|
||
 |
 Some sun, at last! |
