California Sea Lion

(some of the photographers and observers were honestly being rather reckless)

Birdie

Thanks.

Yeah, a bit dangerously close for some as some were even closer than shown there too, luckily the sea lion, other than for one few second long moment, where people ran and screamed for one second (yikes) before returning back super close again right after the sea lion went right back to posing, was mostly just pleased and very proud to model

. But yeah, I wouldn't really advise it. Some kids were being pushed in close for shots at one point (and there were nasty swirling currents to get tossed into behind).

Yes indeed, a wonderful set of photos. The ones with the people do show how silly some of us can be at times (and you never know when one of them might with a Darwin award, posthumously of course). Love the fact the seals can etch the initials of their loved ones in the stone!

What a great set! Looks like these guys are used to having a human audience.

Certainly seems to be posing. I'd be careful getting close like those people.

Nice shots.

Great shots but I'm sad to see graffiti carved into the rocks...

2 & 3 are wonderful shots

Too bad about the people getting in so close, that sucks.

He's a big looking beast, not sure I'd have wanted to get quite as close as some of the people in your shots!
