Male Elephant seals battling it out on the beach. Male Elephant seals come to rest on the beaches along the Central coast of California during the summer to molt their winter fur and fight. Or like the one in the background throw a bunch of side eye since his nap was interrupted.

Hiding from the heat and the sun. Spending lazy days by the swimming holes in fresh mountain streams.

Spent the weekend in Oaji and the Los Padres National Forest relaxing with some friends. While I typically go out on night with little to no moon when I take any night shots, full moons can be great for lighting the entire camp. We were up above the incoming marine layer (low lying thick clouds) were the moon shone. We spent most of the night without our headlamps, just enjoying the moon light. While we spent most of the day hiding from the sun in the swimming holes along the creek.
