Brian and I went camping last weekend at Butano State Park. We pitched our tent under an enormous Redwood. The base of it was bigger than our truck!I had seen these magnificent trees on my after high school road trip but this was Brian's first introduction! On the way home we stopped at Pescadero State Beach to walk along the tide. We got a fabulous show instead! 20 leopard seals were splashing in the surf and sunning themselves on the rocks! We watched them for an hour or so. They were adorable. They would roll over and cover their eyes with their flippers and they would arch their heads and tails up turning their bodies into a big U. The closer we walked, the more intently the big bull would watch us. We didn't want to provoke him so this is as close as I dared get. I am going to invest in a longer zoom lens so I can get close ups in these kind of situations without getting close up!!!
