As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I drove up the California coast this past weekend as far north as San Simeon. This is the time of year that the elephant seals are on the beaches in full force. The females are giving birth to the babies they’ve been carrying since last year, the males are fighting for the right to mate again this year, and the juveniles are sort of lost among all the activity. The mother’s are constantly chasing them away from their newborns and the males seem to ignore their presence altogether. Left to his/her own devices, this one was hanging alone up in the dunes and allowed me a close approach with my wide angle lens.
