This big boy was running straight at me just about 60 ft or so away. Fortunately, he was focused on the fish you can see in the water in front of him.

Faraway Friday-Alaska
This beautiful sunrise was over Mt Redoubt in Alaska. The last significant eruption was in 2009.
Wildlife Wednesday-AMAZON
This beautiful Red Titi monkey burst from the jungle climbing at an amazing pace up the cable to the 150ft platform we were standing on. Cool-but a lil scary too!
Faraway Friday-Crescent Lake, AK
This bear kindly posed at the end of the spit for us.
Wildlife Wednesday- Harbour Seals
Up in Homer Alaska there was a spit COVERED in harbor seals. They were pretty leery of us and as we got closer they started fleeing to the water. They were PLUMP lil things with giant round black eyes.
Faraway Friday-My new Galapagos Friend
The Galapagos Seal Lion pup was soooo curious about us humans snorkeling. He just wanted to play. When they play with each other, they blow bubbles at each other. This one was darting around so fast all my other shots were just of tail. But on this pass he came STRAIGHT AT ME, knocked my mask off and blew bubble in my face! I only got the shot as a mostly defensive maneuver putting my camera in front and remembering to still shoot!
Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos Sea Lion
We learned that the difference from a Galapagos Sea LION and a California seal is that it has ears (which you can see on this singing lil dude). He was just singing away, not afraid of anyone in the group. This was taken from about 12 ft away on the trail that we were required to stay on.
