Elephant Seal Lookout

As we drove away from Hearst Castle, I saw a sign and pulled over for a quick peek.  

Turns out there's elephant seals on this beach.  It's a thing.  

The wind was chilly, the seals were stinky, and the humans might have been a wee bit crabby, so we didn't walk far or stay long, but I was glad we took a minute to appreciate these funny creatures flipping sand over themselves.  

I could use more ocean and more nature in my life.
