Pacific Grove

View from the Aquarium in Monterey. Even on an overcast day it’s pretty incredible.
Neon fish
In lower left corner of pic, can see seal pup suckling its mother and next to them a female soon to calf. 

Long section of bike trail fenced off. Spring is home to seals in the Monterey area.
