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.

Harbor Seal

The one thing about a cloudy, rainy day – it does really bring out the blues in the glacier!
