I took a short backpacking trip to Point Reyes two weekends ago and was able to take a few pictures of the local wildlife (and there is plenty of it).
On our way up to the Drake's Beach area, we got caught up in a really cool "fog storm". These guys were a few hundred feet off the side of the road and feeding.

This little one was surprisingly one of the first to spot me

Later on, we took a hike to the Chimney Rock lookout
You are first greeted with a nice view of the "white cliffs of Drake's Beach" if you get a decent enough day.

These two were frolicking around and enjoying the views

Later we stalked a small herd of Tule Elk up over a ridge and just sat around and watched them for about 40 minutes.
