p.1 #1 · Stellar Sea Lions in Puget Sound (8)


I haven't had a post in a long while--mostly no subject matter around here. Tracking birds down is not easy so far this year. So, today I hiked a long ways down a deserted beach to get a chance at these Stellar Sea Lions.
They were great! Crabby and vocal---put on quite a show while playing king of the rock.
Enjoy!

Bonnie who Wow, great to see you back for a visit! It appears you hike was worth it Bonnie as you have some rather large visitors that didn't seem to mind your visit. Looks like a beautiful day to be out too. I like the comp in #2, the roar in #3, king of the hill in #7 and sleepytime #8. Welcome back, hope you are to frequent us more often..............please

Bonnie, nice to see you back!! Each one of these tells a story, aggressor, the one being picked on. All arguing over the rock and then getting along for a while. Nice shots, scenery and color. This certainly is different fare for us.

Hi Karl! Thank you!
I have actually been really busy with cards and calendars that I print and sell. Not much time to spend elsewhere--and birding has been terrible for me this year.
It was a beautiful day--and the afternoon light was perfect for once.
I hope I can get back here more frequently.

Thanks, Tim! I almost came over to the Fill today--but tried all my old stomping grounds instead. I have been wanting to go down and shoot these Sea Lions for awhile, but the tide or light was never right, plus....it is a long ways to walk!

Hi Susan! No, I haven't been participating as much as I should. Hope I can get back at it a bit. I was thinking of your images all the while I was doing this. Wonderful animals.
Hope all is well with you and you are out getting some great images!

Hi Tom! Oh--I'm still here. I still check in and take a look when I have time.
Sure wishing for some better birding. Kitsap and Jefferson counties are birdless! (well not quite--but they really do not seem to be around in the numbers I saw last year) Thanks for checking the lions out!

Hi Bonnie,

Funny you should drop in like this. I was thinking about you last night - honest I was wondering where you and Maggie have been hiding and even Shelley has been mostly absent.

Anywho, an excellent way to make a come back and some stunning photos which I very much enjoyed. Try not to such a stranger...

Hi Ken!
I am still here--just pretty busy, and the birding has been awful here of late. I look at the dates of images from last year, and the birds are not here this year. Worrisome?
I saw a post from Shelley a few days back, she is busy developing a line of cards, and I have also been marketing a desktop calendar and cards that I have had some success with in the local stores. I do all the printing and assembly myself--and that takes a ton of time and energy, plus I have a full time job too. (ugg)
Maggie--where are you?
I try to stop by here more frequently!
Thanks for looking!
