These are Mexican Free-Tailed Bats that I photographed Saturday night in Texas. They are about the size of a field mouse, but they fly surprisingly fast. They were really tricky to focus on in the dark. I almost never shoot photos with artificial external lighting, but for these light bats, I used an old off-camera strobe to momentarily light them up. They are really amazing little creatures. I’m surprised that they fly as well as they do.

Just one photo this evening.
This is a young female elephant seal that I photographed in a small rocky cove along the coast of California. There were several other female seals napping on the small pebble beach of the cove and one large male seal was keeping a watchful eye on them. This one seal was very playful and seemed to be swimming just for fun. Yvonne and I quietly watched it for quite a while. It was definitely just playing and having fun. When I took this photo, it was swimming in circles chasing its tail.
