![Elephant Seals at Piedras Blancas Beach, February 13, 2011](https://i0.wp.com/slo-north.info/tidbits-from-templeton/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/elephant-seals-2.jpg?resize=150%2C150)
There’s nothing like a trip to the coast to see the elephant seals and watch the beach sunset to revive one’s spirit. A walk to the end of the pier in San Simeon was part of a detour along the way north, and then I took a photo walk looking south toward the lighthouse. Finally we drove south again to capture the elephant seals with my cameras.
