Th
is is the sunset that was happening last night as I was finishing yesterday’s blog. This, by the way was shot from my hotel room balcony.
This morning was spent in classroom mode learning about Sea Lions, Elephant Seals and Monarch Butterflies. Then we took a field trip to Morro Bay and had a walk along an Estuary which was interesting but not to photogenic for the short telephoto lens on the M3.
The next stop was along the Bay to look for sea otters. We were in luck and 
found 15. It was still pushing the envelope for the M3 and how I was wishing for my 150
-600 lens. But with a little cropping and finessing I did come up with some sea otters that looked like sea otters oughter. (Sorry, couldn’t resist). But I still hope to have time to go back with the big girl camera before heading home.
And then there was this Brown Pelican w
ho actually showed up to try and steal the otters food.
And the sun had just set when we got back to the hotel so here is another pretty sunset picture.
Tomorrow we have a bird walk, a trip to the Monarch butterfly grove and some time in downtown Pismo Beach.
