The view from the hotel this morning did not disappoint. Although rain was forecast (a rarity in this dry corner of Southern California), it was bright and sunny.
I set off for a walk around the gardens and along the coastal path.
I spent some frustrating minutes trying to photograph a pair of hummingbirds who were flitting around and singing to each other. Entrancing - but I just couldn't get a photo. The lizards were more obliging..
The pelicans made frequent fly-pasts but are also very difficult to capture against the bright sky. This is the best I could manage. These are white-fronted rather than the brown ones we saw in the Outer Banks.
On some rocks close to the shore were some very sleepy sea-lions..
Except one who was keeping watch..
The clouds did roll in this afternoon...
..and it was soon very grey and wet..
It was unfortunate that when the rain really got going I had headed off around the cliff path in the other direction...
No wet selfies then? All looks lovely.
