Sand Bags????

As we approached San Simeon, Ca. we could see in the distance, 

spread along the beach,  hundreds

of what  we though were sand bags.

Soon enough we saw what they really were!!

Their honking was deafening

and so was Toby's barking.

He had to be banished to the car!

We do not remember this Elephant Seal reserve 

from our last visit here back in the dark ages 

of the 1970"s.
