 The 17 mile drive is known for the numerous deer that frequent people's front yards - in this case, the golf course |
 |
 a large California Ground Squirrel - they live in the rocks that line the bay and coast areas |
 Herrmann's Gull - winter plumage |
the ground squirrel let me get within 2 feet to snap his picture. notice the spotted fur |
 this large rock was covered with cormorants (birds) and harbor seals. you could sit and watch the harbor seals playing in the water |
 continuing along the 17 mile drive - Monterey Cypress trees |
 the rocky coastline typical of CA |
 more cypress trees |
 the Lone Cypress tree that is very famous - it's over 250 years old. |
