In the first five minutes after getting there, there was a deer roaming the grounds, and I caught him like a ghost in the upper right-hand corner of this exposure:
An obvious addition to any trip to a California coast--seabirds:
Banana slugs in the wild! I'd never seen one before. It was pretty small, and I remember thinking, Who left a golden pepper out here? But it was moving! Cool:
Be careful and wary: smelly elephant seals brawling in the surf:
And sunning on the beach:
The big male on the upper right is nearly as big as my old Datsun 240-Z.
