The Party Animal: Ever ready to celebrate this happy-go-lucky animal has the stamina of a cheetah and the joyous temperment of small child on Christmas. She unwraps every gift offered with glee, drinks every glass of wine with thurst and munches on hors d'ouvres with relish.
Rarely seen without a smile on her face, she hugs each guest and exclaims, "For me? You shouldn't have! But I'm awfully glad you did." with every package received.
The Elephant Seal: Is he lost? Hurt? Does he need assistance? No the Marine Mammal Rescue Man told us this 7-month old seal is healthy and just resting. A few momments after this photo was taken he went out with the tide. Goodbye and goodluck little fella!
The Banana Slug: We saw this little guy on our way thru the stand of sequoias just outside of Santa Cruz in the Howard Cowell Redlands National Park. As instructed in the visitor's center, we were on the watch out for bobcats, racoons, mountain lions and bats, but all we saw were some rust-tailed squirrels, a few jays and this slug. The trees were fabulous and the dappled light on the forest floor below was mesmerizing. Overall it was a fantastic 1-hour trek. We were thrilled to see this mollosk, and he looked pretty happy to see us, too.
What kinds of animals have you seen this summer?

What a wonderful trip we had, Sweetie. Love Santa Cruz! Can't wait to go back. Bye the way, you forgot to mention The Cliff House. Did we take any pictures there?
Love Ya! -SSS
LOVED the party animal! we live in the woods so squirrels and chipmunks and whitetailed deer out the wazoo. on occasion we see a fox at night. chickadees, bluejays, robins all. i saw a red tailed hawk the other day and he was magnificent. there's also a black bear that likes to tip over the garbage shed...yes we have to lock up the garbage so mr. bear doesn't strew it all down the road.
Oh now at first I thought that was Irene in that picture...is it? NO?
