So now we’re back to my most recent visit to Año Nuevo State Park, which we showed you in one post from January. This time I’m including the video I took in which you can, if you wish, see a pretty newborn elephant seal pup with its mom: this was calving season.

Last lights from my SF days in early January. In case you wonder, Gary, these are different shots but same night for the Dolores Park bits :-).

Somehow we’ve arrived in May, and my next vacation has brought me to another new area surrounded by mountainous countryside. So I’m splurging on a big post with all the remaining from my last days in 2025, all spent in the coastal range of Mendocino County.
