Steller Sea Lion

Steller Sea Lion, Prince William Sound, Alaska.

When the fur on the large male sea lion dries out a bit, you can see that the longer fur on the back of the neck looks a bit like a lions mane – it is easy to see how they got the name Sea Lion.

This was from a stormy day in early May this year – their warm bodies in the cold area were actually giving of a bit of steam.

This is a bit different, and probably won’t be too popular, but I think it is pretty neat.  This is a smack of jellyfish from my trip last month into Prince William Sound.  I’m looking straight down from above – the shadow from the boat, along with a polarizer helped the jellies show even though I wasn’t underwater.

I have one spot left for my Arizona Slot Canyon Photography Tour for later this month.  I am excited about this tour – we will have exclusive use of some of the slots we visit like Canyon x pictured above.  Plus, we will be making a night time visit to Upper Antelope Slot Canyon in which the canyon will be illuminated with LED lights just enough so that the stars will show above!  Throw in other local highlights like Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell and you can see we have an action packed couple of days.  You can read more here or call if you have any questions:  Arizona Slot Canyon Photo Tour.

Gentoo Penguin, Antarctica.

We now have a new section of Penguin Photos on our website!  I’m looking forward to seeing more penguins this winter – few animals are as cute and fun!

Had a few delays on the blog here – having to upgrade my themes etc., and battling a few little issues that I hope to have resolved soon, but if you don’t see any new blog posts, you will know why.  🙂
