Photographs from the February, 2006 workshop.

Sea Otter
An otter floats among kelp beds just inside the entrance of Morro Bay.
Turkey Vulture
Photographed long Santa Rosa Creek Road, near the little town of Cambria. The beak looks dangerous, but the vulture only dines on carrion.
Egret at Montana de Oro Tide Pool
Spiderweb, Dew, Ice Plant
We began to noice spiderwebs glistening in the sunlight as we were walking back from our "secret" location, where we had photographed elephant seals, north of the town of Cambria

Closer to Home:

Cast Adrift
Driftwood on Moonstone Beach, Cambria, California, a few minutes after the sun rose over the Coast Range Mountains.
The Polygamist
A male northern elephant seal (mirounga angustrirotris) celebrates his prowess as as a husband. His wives are indifferent. (Photographed north of Cambria, and just south of the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse.)
Mother and Child
A mother elephant seal barks her annoyance at a perceived slight by another female.
Lonely Bull
A male elephant seal, imposing in size but without a harem, hauled himself out of the surf, and slithered off the beach to a dry and warm patch of grass near Highway 1, not far from the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse.
Mating Monarchs
Monarchs pair off at Pismo Beach, on the central coast of California.
Fancy Rooster
Photographed at the Fiscalini farm, along Santa Rosa Creek Road, in the bosom of the Coast Ranges.

I like this photograph, the close view from a few feet away made with a long lens.
Calla Lily
Near the Sebastian Store, below Hearst Castle.
Weeners
After a month or so, elephant seal pups are weaned from their mothers. Fattened on their mothers' milk, these pups cluster together, for companionship and perhaps warmth, on a foggy morning along the central coast of California.

Pups generally remain on the beach until the potentially dangerous adult males have returned the sea. (Note the quite small seal in the middle of the pups - it appears to have a serious head wound.) These pups, on a secluded beach away from some of the more popular viewing areas, seem to share a curiosity about their human visitors.
Morro Rock and Hiker
Turkey Vulture in Flight
A turkey vulture swoops low over the ground, just off Highway 1, a few miles north of the William Randolph Hearst State Park.
He Needs Braces
This friendly and rain-soaked goat lives east of the city of San Luis Obispo, in the Coast Range mountains.
The View from the Bluffs at Montana de Oro State Park
Tilted strata are on display a little south of Morro Bay.
