Sea lions, Midway Islands – Alaska #3007

Sea lions gathered in a group almost always make me smile. When sea lions haul out in big groups you can hear them belch, burp, grunt, and groan. They have no sense of personal space and crawl all over each other growling, barking, and snorting until they settle down in a big pig pile and dose in the warm dry air of dry land. Their faces seem to be set in a semi-permanent smile. Thank you for visiting. Enjoy – Camera: Nikon D800, Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm, Digital Capture, hand held ©Mark Kelley
