Lookit the lovely yellow flowers that grow along the cliffs. There was a little boy walking along, I'll post that version tomorrow cos I'm still not sure if I like him in it, at least he doesn't clash as violently as the one in the blue windcheater who I cropped out of the last photo. Which also messed it up a bit sigh.
This area is a unique meeting of land and sea, and it really is madly teeming with wildlife. The Monterrey bay aquarium, the California Academy of Sciences and the Aquarium of the bay in SFO really do a good job of showing you how it all work. But. Nothing will slam it home like a visit to Point Lobos State Park. Ideally, of course, one wants to go on a bright sunny day filled with sunshine, so that the water and the sky are that unreal blue. However, in hindsight, I think I'm glad I only had an overcast day, because that is the reality of this part of California, because of the microclimates the bays create you just never can tell what the weather is like, and seeing all that wildlife in its real everyday setting is something else. Course we should have gone to the tide pools and stuff to see more things but we saw seals, sea lions, cormorants, gulls, crabs and sea otter. Even a turkey vulture. Oooo and pelicans. Flying in the cutest formations, but I was unable to catch em at it.
