Yes, it’s true, sometimes I take photos with no animals in sight. This one was from Moñtana de Oro State Park in Los Osos, California. In Spanish it means mountains of gold, and the park was given its name because of all the yellow wildflowers that dot the landscape. Closer to the water, the layers of rock make for interesting seascapes — with or without the resident seals, sea otters, or sea lions.
