Sea lions, North Seymour Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador – Image 2092

My son, Owen, lets curious and friendly sea lion pups smell his hand. We spent an afternoon walking on this island surrounded by dozens of sea lion pups and blue-footed boobies and multiple colonies of nesting frigate birds.My boys could not get over how the baby sea lions would waddle up, check them out and sometimes follow them down the beach. I shot this photo with a Nikon F-5 with a 80-200mm F/2.8 Nikor zoom lens on Velvia film.-Mark Kelley

This beach is lined with dozens of sea lions that pay no attention to the passing beach-goer. Snorkeling in the water will attract a sea lion as a swimming buddy. I shot this photo with a Nikon F-5 with a 20-35mm F/2.8 Nikor zoom lens polarized on Velvia film.-Mark Kelley

Smiling sea lions, Inian Islands, North Pass, Southeast Alaska – Image 2048

I just spent one week in the Galapagos in Ecuador. There, I saw plenty ofCalifornia sea lions and they reminded of their cousins in Alaska. I shotthis photo of stellar sea lions in the Inian Islands while traveling in askiff with my good friend Paul Johnson owner of the Gull Cove Lodge.
