Description
While driving around the Pigeon Point area (see last night's post), we also walked on several of the beaches. This was a great spot, this group of about 50 or so sea lions, was just hanging out, sunning themselves, swimming, lolling in the sand. I wasn't able to get very close, so we walked around and went up on a bluff right above them. They mostly looked like logs on the beach, till this guy seemed to look right at up at me, give me a wink, and say "Sure, I'll pose for you"!!!! My NEW zoom helped tremendously as well. Not bad, since I was at least a hundred or so feet above the beach!!

Oh, they are so cute and cuddly....but, I can imagine staying a safe distance is best...I get the feeling that they can really do some damage to a human, especially with any young pups around. Still, wouldn't mind petting one. Great capture with your new camera, Marilyn.
MrsRatbag
Yes, it looks like you're just right there with them! Probably close enough, though, they can smell quite a bit! He is posing for you, isn't he?
Madbat
Y'know, except for the one in the middle, the rest of em look like grey burritos.

Gorgeous work Marilyn. I knew your new zoom was going to rock this shot, and its so much nicer then I did with the 70mm. This was taken at the Fitzpatrick Marine Reserve/San Mateo County, CA. Pigeon Point is about 30 miles south... if you care :o)

Now thats what I like to see, a new camera going through it's paces and showing off what it is capable of. Ain't it great you can stand further back from the subject and still get up close. Excellent capture Marilyn, and great to getting out there and using that new toy, a late Christmas present maybe? If it was it was well worth the wait. I look forward to many more shots from this. Bravo!!!!!

This is a cute and warming shot. I've always liked seals and sea lions and this guy looking right at the camera is evidence of why! Their expressions are always so eager and inquisitive! Looks like you're getting good use out of your new camera as well! Great!

Excellent zoom shot of the multitextured sea lions lying blissfully on the beach. Actually, from their positioning, I think each of them could do with a good mattress. Anyway, I suppose this capture SEALS the fact that you've got a pretty good camera.
RobyHermida
