While vacationing in California, I was always on the lookout for wildlife (click on photos to enlarge):
17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach, winds through a lush forest and along a rocky coastline. How wonderful it must be to live here. We stopped at Bird Rock, home to sea lions and ... well, lots and lots of birds.
A sign along 17 Mile Drive advises visitors not to feed the animals, but this squirrel looks like he does all right.
In Muir Woods, a deer ventured close to the trail for a drink. Like a pack of hungry paparazzi, tourists snapped at the bit of fur visible through the leaves.
Sea lions or seals? I'm not sure, but these guys in San Francisco are a noisy, comic bunch.
Question: We wondered why is the rock along the coast is white? Is it bird poop? I'm not quite sure what that speck is in the middle of the photo -- a bee, a helicopter, Superman?

A landscape picture with a flying bug, how unintentionally classic is that? Great pictures, Lynn.
And, yes, I'd suspect they are guano-covered islands.
Thanks, NT. If that island is indeed covered in guano then I think it's time for the birds to do a little housecleaning.
Love the pictures, all near where I live.
You may have shot an elusive UFO.
:-)
You are very lucky indeed, Jan, to live there -- the California coast is beautiful. I finally understand why people are willing to risk earthquakes to live there.
Perhaps the UFO had overshot Roswell.
It's not a UFO, it's a Frisbee, or possibly a volleyball. It's California, right? Aliens don't go there because they don't get any attention.
Lol, Raggs, I think you're probably right that aliens avoid California. Or maybe ... maybe all Californians are aliens, and I've captured one of them making a quick trip back to the Mothership.
