One of the main reasons we head to Cambria every January is the watch the Elephant Seals pup. Hundreds of them gather on one of the only sandy beaches to give birth and mate. At first it looks like a bunch of brown maggots ( really big ones!!!), but if you look closer and watch all kinds of drama will play out. The two black pups are maybe only a few days old. Their skin is wrinkled as they have not had enough time to put any weight on, but just wait, soon they will look like inflated balloons. The mother in back still has blood on her face from licking her pup after its birth. Over the next few days starting next week I will share some of the drama with you.

A stunning shot of these interesting critters Garrett. They all look as though they are tired and exhausted from this ordeal. I look forward to more photos from Your trip.

Life is a Constant Audition
I wonder who has the job of rolling them over and making sure they are done, Garrett.
Looking forward to more of these. You are off to a great start.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Wow another outstanding photography it like you are there with them as the detail is so crisp and nice close up photo too. Love the light and shine on the seals nose that is at the front and the composition is perfect Garrett.
