edge of the country

We recently ventured out to Point Reyes National Seashore , about 2 hours up the coast from the city. We set out to do a little hiking and sight-seeing on nice 60 degree January day. While we were out there, we went into an old lighthouse built in 1870 and saw all kinds of animals roaming around.

Look closely in the pictures below and you'll see seals laying on the beach, black-tail deer on a hillside and a few elk that didn't seem to thrilled that I had pulled off the road to take their picture...
