Took advantage of the beautiful weather on Friday and took a quick trip into Kenai Fjords National Park.  This is looking into Northwestern Fjords.  The weather has certainly turned to cold, wet and windy.  The snow isn’t sticking to the ground in Seward, but it sure is up higher.

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.

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