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
