In early April I drove up to San Simeon to view and photograph the elephant seals.  The colony is referred to as the Piedras Blanca colony and they are one of the places that has a facility for individuals to watch them.  Overall it was a good trip and I had a good time watching them.  I will need to return to be able to seethe large males with their huge proboscis as they are currently at rehabilitating themselves after being n the beach for many months for the breeding season.
As there are lots of photographs from this location I experimented to see if I could give one the sense of place for these seals.  These females and juveniles spent lots of time just napping on the beach.

Hope you enjoyed the photo,

One of my favorite groups of animals to watch and photograph is frogs and other amphibians.  I took advantage of another photographer organizing a photoshoot with a large variety of these small frogs.  I really like this one as it seems to have several possible stories, to me it looks like this small frog may be having a bad day but is persistent and hangs in for the future.

I hope you enjoyed the photo,
