Default Seal Beach with real live Elephant Seals!
Over the weekend my g/f and I hit up seal beach on the PCH in CA. The elephant seal males were in season and laying out in the sun for some fun. There were a few other friendly critters along for the ride too!

This land is my land!:


Yes I am cute! I am so friendly I let children pet me, and I crawl up their legs (chipmunk footprints: Seal Beach - chipmunk prints on Flickr - Photo Sharing! ):


Quote the Raven:


Of course there are more pictures of seals on the beach and chipmunks in the set:
