Yes, yet again I stopped, on my way down the California coast, after my adventures in the Bay Area and a brief stop to help out with my cousin’s kids in Santa Cruz, in Morro Bay, to see the sea otters.

You should try to see some sea otters. They are another mammal that is hard to get close to… because that water is cold.

This time I didn’t see any babies riding on their mother’s tummies. Wrong time of the year. Everybody was just munching on kelp.

Because I got up so early… in order to take some pictures of the sunrise for you… the moon was still up.

I think that is called a ‘raft’ of otters… but feel free to Google that. I could be wrong.

The zoom lens is so cool. I love the moon picture, and there are some pelicans and seagulls, just hanging out across the bay.

I highly suggest a visit to Morro Bay.

I stopped along Highway One to take these pictures. Morro Bay has that huge rock and the factory with the giant smoke stacks. And it is famous as a bird-watching site.

But it is a lovely little town, and you can see sea otters.
