We visited the rookery in Morro Bay and found this cormorant walking along the outside of the fence. He seemed frantic to get through the fence, but must have been injured because he couldn't seem to figure out how to fly. He kept ramming his head against the fence and flapping furiously. I thought maybe my presence was causing him some distress, so we walked off in the other direction and later when we came back he was no longer there.

The Inn at Morro Bay has a bar (with live entertainment) and this fabulous view of the Morro Bay Rock, so guess where we were? While hanging out on the deck photographing the sunset, other visitors kept coming up and asking me to take their picture (with their cameras). This happens a lot when you have a big, professional looking camera. They assume I'm a "pro" - I just laugh and say "I wish".

I don't know the name of this particular type of succulent, but I loved the way the ruffled leaves radiate out from the center, which was lit so perfectly at that moment.
