Bay Area herping allows for the opportunity to see additional wildlife, so I took a trip up north.

Coast Garters were common in this area, here's another.

I know Californians are all about fashion and style, but I was kind of surprised to see this Woolly Bear sporting a white mohawk.

While driving home on Highway 1, I noticed some big rocks out on a sandbar.

When I saw one of the "rocks" move, I decided to investigate further - it turns out they were Harbor Seals. It was a great way to end the day.
