Sea lions were scattered everywhere on the cliffs and rocks along the shore. Mostly they slept and just lounged about.
Looking like fallen dominos ... but when one awakes, they all must.
(right) Note the hug
It was fun to just stop and watch them for a while. I also really enjoyed making up little stories to accompany all of their apparent drama.
"Hey, up there!" ... "Heeeeeey, youuuu, come play!"
"Pleeease!" ... "Pretty pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!"
"No, go away, I'm still napping." ... So eventually he had to go find someone else to bother, but he made sure to complain about it.
A quick ground squirrel
More piles of sleeping sea lions
(right) Photobomb! ... and a half (behind the rock)
The makings of another silly sea lion story (this is the same pair from earlier)...
"Oh man, you TOTALLY missed out!" ... "The water was awesome!"
"Did you hear me??" ... "I said AWEEEEESOMEEE!"
"Hmmmph." ... "Sigh."
We continued walking north...
La Jolla Cove
We popped down the stairs to...
... peek into a cave ... and look down the beach.
The cliffs were littered with a mixture of life.
Sea lions, seagulls and cormorants
It's very impressive how they can actually "climb" out of the water onto the rocks!
