San Simeon and the Elephant Seals

This is a picture of thousands of Elepahnt Seals. February is the month that the females come to give birth and the males come to mate (poor females, never a break). We were lucky enought to arrive just as one of the females was giving birth, the pup was huge (poor females). Is it just me or are the females getting a bad deal here?!

Emily with the Elephant Seals.

Check out that perfect weather!


We found a spot a couple of miles downthe road to have our picnic lunch. Its in the same area so we had huge male seals literally 15 ft from us while we were eating. I know this picture doesn't show any of their faces and its not up close, but its a classic picture of a Daddy and his girls.
