San Simeon Elephant Seals
I visited the elephant seal vista point, located about 3-4 miles north of the Hearst Castle entrance off US 1. This was my first visit to see the elephant seals, and certainly not the last.
Ahahaaaaaaaaha! We come from the land of the ice and snow from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow!
This little pup screamed at its mama several times, and she responded by continuing to sleep and occasionally flipping more beach sand onto her back. Well done, mama.
These graceful seals are not playing — they’re fighting. And from the sounds of it, I would not want to be in the middle of that fight.
So I says, “What do you take me for, a sea lion!?! Hahahahaha!”
–That’s nice, dear. We’ve all heard it before…
Oh my gosh, I think I see a human, guys! Look! There it is!
Has anyone seen my Snuggie?

Phenomenal photos. You just drove up and were that close? Really cool.
They look so huggable! I’m jealous of the opportunity to see them that close up. Fun pictures (and your captions rock).
Ahhhh. What a great picture!
LOVE these photos! We stopped by to see the seals at San Simeon a few years ago on our way up the coast! Your pics are way better than mine. Your jokes are too. Why are we friends?
Wow, these are amazing pics and I love your captions, too.
Just stopping by to see what you’ve been up to — so glad I did, what amazing photos!
Hopin’ that first one wasn’t as close as he looks and that you just have a great telephoto lens
