Tony, number 3 sea lion for me, a very different look for sure. I can't put my finger on it but that is a wall hanger

Lovely shots of the loon! I see so few of them close, great job. Cool drops on the head and wonderful expressions.

Thanks, Tim. This guy was quite interested in me sitting on the beach and kept coming closer. I think he is a rather old fella with those teeth and eyes. The loon was in a marina, so it was a case of me hiding behind boats and hoping he would surface close to me.

I just had to go back and look at these a number of times. The ones of the Sea Lion are really nice but the ones of the loon are my favourites.

Thanks, Nello. I could get closer to the sea lions, but am not about to hop in a Yak.

Thanks, Socrate. I think the sea lion just needs to use whitening strips.
