In 1990, Sea Elephants started inhabiting the beaches near San Simeon. The come here to molt, feed, have thier pups, and sleep. Mostly to sleep. Fences warn to stay at least 50 feet away. The whole beach looks like this, big mounds of seals, and seals half buried by the sand.
We have been spotted!
I think we are being watched!
This is the view from the pier that was used to ship in all the materials for Hearst Castle. The castle is amazing, and even more so considering they only had horse and carriage to haul all the materials from the ship to the building site on top of the hill.
This is the Morro Bay rock. Wait, let me put the size of this "rock" in perspective for you...
See Mr. Trailer at the bottom?
Last stop was to see the Ostrich Farm.
The brown ones are female, and the black are male.
There were also Emu's on this farm. They are evil, prehistoric looking birds with sharp, pointed beaks and dark red eyes.
And for the parting picture, the view from the look-out point just past Solvang going East on the 246.
My interests are many and varied. Each aspect of my personality needs to be separate, hence all the blogs.
