Elephant Seals, One of my 10 to do’s for 2010

Thousands have come to this part of the coast to mate, give birth and grow strong.
I just love Marine Mammals. I love dolphins and whales and seals of all varieties. I really love these elephant seals! This is my second trip to visit them, they come a shore in Jan- March to the Central California coast to bred, give birth and give their young the right start in life.
. I decided that I wanted to do 10 things this year that I’ve always wanted to do or have already done and want to do again. This is one of them…. I was born Oct 10th, 1955 and this is the year I turn 55. on October 10th, 2010. 10-10-10! Pretty good huh!
Enjoy these pictures and if you’re ever in California in the winter months- be sure you make the trek to see this amazing natural phenomena. Next Januray Cambria, CA will be having their 2nd annual Elephant Seal Festival and I’ve already told the organizers I want to come back next year and volunteer. Not sure what they need me to do, but I know I’m back for the Elephant Seal birthing season for yet another year!!
