Cambria


These elephant seals aren't actually in Cambria, but a bit north of San Simeon - about twelve miles north of here.  And they are beautiful.  The whole colony is about 24,000 strong - so the rest of the gang are off swimming and eating fish.  Watching them is like watching evolution in motion - you can see them as a shoal of huge basking fish, but when they start shuffling along the beach on their flippers, you can see very well where the idea of legs came from.  I was so happy with this pic of seals - look at that adorable pink barking mouth.


Here's a view of Moonstone Beach - more of a rocky shoreline with a boardwalk - which is just by Cambria.


There seem to be a huge number of dogs here - so many that even the public toilets at the bottom of our street seem to be celebrating them.


And here's Alice at lunch - with my pomegranate lemonade in the foreground.
