La Jolla, CA – Seals

Sunday morning we met for breakfast in the hotel restaurant.  Then Jim and Gene went to pick up the rental car and the six of us drove to La Jolla.  We drove out to La Jolla Point and got out and started walking down the sidewalk.  There were beautiful bluish flowers and a rocky shoreline with a seawall extending out.

There was some sort of vine with bluish flowers growing out of the cleft in the rocks.

As we got closer we could see ground squirrels playing in the rocks.  They were really cute and posed nicely for us.

Looking up away from the seawall this was the view.

It was only then that i noticed what everyone was looking at.  Seals!!  These were on a rock just to the left of this picture on a rock.

Looking back towards the seawall there were lots and lots of seals.

There were all shapes and sizes of seals.  Some were on the beach, some in the water, and others on rocks.

This one seems to be balancing on the rock.

There were even some baby seals.

We loaded up and drove around sightseeing.  That is where we found the surfers.  Too many pictures so they get a blog of their own.
