Nice pics, thanks, they take me back to when I lived there for half a year while a student at the Defense Language Institute at the top of the Presidio.
I used to jog down onto the public beach every day where I'd occasionally have to detour around one of the big seals lying smack in the middle of the dry sand! I figured either it was sick; or, something bigger had chased it out of the water. At the time, I hadn't considered that it may simply have been avoiding a horny otter!
