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.
Faraway Friday-Oregon Coast
Just outside of Otter Rock. Was on an amazing van trip down the coast. My friend and I just pulled over to a lookout point, opened the side door and took this all in!
Wildlife Wednesday-Shakey Shakey
This was one of the “diver” bears. There was one family lineage that actually dive down, swim under water, and catch fish that way. Each time he finally came after 30 seconds or so, if he didn’t have a fish, he’d shake his head like a dog.
Faraway Friday-Alaska
Living at the foot of the Olympic Mountains you wouldn’t think I’d get that excited by more mountains. But this view from Homer Bay was filled with so many layers. And I’m a sucker for layers.

I just want one (for now anyway)
