This was in Manhattan Beach, but it could have been anywhere

Greetings from Redondo on a bright blue day, where I avoided a run-in with a grizzled old pelican walking around the pier
Marveled at birds in flight
And all the fishermen casting their lines for treasures of the sea.
Look out for that pier!

It always makes me nervous when I see surfers riding waves near or underneath a pier, as several were doing in Manhattan Beach when I stopped by today.
I guess they know what they’re doing, but if not there were plenty of lifeguards ready to dive in at sign of aquatic misadventure.
Moms and dads were also watching over their young charges on another bright sunny day at the beach.
Why work out at the gym when you can go to the beach and see this instead?

Couldn’t resist
I’ll do my whale watching from here, thank you very much

I haven’t spotted any whales lately, but I know they are out there, and that there are plenty of whale watching expeditions that could lead me to them.
But I get terribly sea sick — and prefer views like this to any that I could see from the boat above. So I’ll stick to dry land, thank you very much.
Pier guard action — Seal Beach

I had never seen a pier shielded in this fashion before visiting Seal Beach. No doubt there’s a very sensible reason for it. I just don’t know what it is.

No baby seal, but I did get this

Today, I set out to visit Bolsa Chica, which I ended up approaching from Dog Beach to the south. I saw this very cute baby seal slithering into the ocean but could not power up my camera in time. Instead, I give you this tranquil shot.
No high heel shoes on the pier!

There were many signs on the Seal Beach pier but this was probably my favorite, due to the broad scope of prohibitions.
