Sea Lions and Pelicans

We were in San Diego last weekend. When we went for a walk along the ocean, I forgot to bring my camera. (I know!) These pictures were taken with my phone. People sell fresh fish on the pier, and one stand cleans the fresh fish. The extra bits are thrown into the water where a couple of  sea lions beg like dogs at the table, and the pelicans squabble over scraps.

In the Bleak Midwinter

As the water level falls, some ice is suspended above the river.
