An Afternoon Whale Watching…

Every time we have visited the coast we have wanted to go out on the ocean and do some whale watching. Usually we are in quite a rush and can’t quite fit it in but this time we had a couple of quiet days in Oceanside, CA.  So we were pleasantly surprised to find a local business that held daily tours at very reasonable rate so we decided to give it a try…

Under the Pier…

On our last day of our trip to La Jolla, CA a couple of years ago we drove south for a bit and spotted this beautiful scene…

I am unsure of what type of bird this is but it sure was neat seeing it walk up with waves…
