2016
The views from the hills in San Francisco are always the best.
Taken at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers on March 2, 2016.
We stopped at a random beach around San Simeon to watch a group of kite surfers. To the right was a rocky outcropping and I thought it would be a good location to find tide pools to photograph.
As we walked, the rocks in the ditance became clearer, and they were moving. We had found an elephant seal rookery. The male elephant seals were hard to miss, but they were all separate from the group on a different part of the beach. We snapped a few photos and went on our way.
We never made it to the tide pools.
