Point Lobos

Today we took Owen to Point Lobos, a national reserve that is a few minutes down Hwy 1 from Carmel. My pictures do not do this park or the views justice... it is absolutely breathtaking. We saw some seals kissing and playing in the water right in front of us and watched as seals sunned on the beach and we watched as one mamma seal teach her pup how to maneuver in the waves...

Family picture:





Seals sunning and if you look real close you can see the momma seal and her pup in the shallow waves:





Our entertainment for the afternoon... this seal was intent on splashing the water and performing for us- pretty cute!








I wish I could capture nature at her best here and share with you the powerful sounds of the waves thrashing on the rocks and show how strong the water and current was with the water dropping and rising viciously along the rocks. Its beautiful.
(the beach(es) you can see in the background is Carmel Beach and you can see Pebble in the distance to your left).
