Close encounters of the herd kind

I get to leave a little earlier every day because the sun's coming up earlier, which is working out to more time available for walking. I want my walk days to be five or more miles, so I figured today I'd add a beach loop to my current gulch routine. The plan got rearranged a bit when another guy showed up right as I was finishing my stretches; I really didn't want to follow him up the hill. Awkward. But no problem, I just did the beach loop first instead of last. It was pretty cloudy out and I didn't think there'd be much to take any pictures of. Turns out I was pleasantly surprised.
