Elephant seal on the beach at Piedras Blancas, California.

(For those concerned that I may have been inappropriately close to these wild animals… this location provides a very close overlook and I used a 100-400mm telephoto to get these close views. Don’t worry, I would definitely not get too close to these fellas! If you’ve been around them, you and can probably think of about a half a dozen good reasons to keep your distance!)
