It’s summer… you otter be relaxing…

a 1

Another advantage of me waking up at three in the morning to do the drive on the coastal highway, aside from getting to watch the sun come up with you, is that it allowed me to stop in more places to take pictures… look at that little guy in his kelp blanket.

This time, I stopped in Morro Bay, a quaint little seaside village, just South of Hearst Castle and the beach with the elephant seals.

The fog still hadn’t given up entirely in its battle with the sun.

I walked out onto a little dock…

Right beside the dock, I spotted this sleepy seal…

He knew how to relax on a summer morning!

I drove out along the strand, to the huge rock that looks over the entrance to the protected bay… notice all the sea bird droppings.

That is where I took these pictures… and the ones in the next post or two… I think that a group of otters is called a ‘raft’… but feel free to Google that.

But you have to love otters… no, really, you have to…

    Hey, it’s a free country, you don’t get to tell me who I should and shouldn’t love!
    I mean, sure, the otters are cute, I just don’t think it’s going to work out between us…

    Oh I love otters. I’ve only seen them in zoos, though.

    But I saw this this morning and it is awfully cool/cute:
