Seal Rock @ Laguna Beach

My friend/neighbor/sista- Kimber and I escaped a bit today. After going to hear Barbara's son's band, the Green Room, play their classic rock at the Spirit Run at Fashion Island we headed over to Laguna Beach - five minutes from home in Corona del Mar. I had read about a man who was photographing and video taping the whales - from the vista point at Crescent Beach - so we went to check him and the whales out........

I've loved this spot since my daughter Jill discovered it a few years ago...this path leads you to a vista overlooking the water-- the park setting and flowers, along with the view is breathtaking...

...This is Seal Rock...uh..er..because the seals are here. ;-) and they are on a rock ;-)
if you enlarge the photo by doing the magic click on the image you can also see the dolphin right there behind the seals...

Yeah...I had "camera envy" when I saw the whale guy's setup! He gets here to Crescent Bay Point at 5:30a.m. every morning to do his photography...seven days a week! There are more cameras and telescopes you can't see in this photo.

...This is Crescent Bay - and Laguna Beach in the background...

...If you were hanging over the rail like me...this is what you would see...
Kimberly and I were only here for about 30 minutes and we saw about 5 whales. It was an overcast day and I could not get my camera to focus on them from this distance...but one of these days.....you bet I will :-) so stay tuned!
