I photograph California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) often, and this winter has been no exception. We have had ideal weather for photographing the local colony of sea lions and I’ve tried to take advantage of it, making more portraits of them in the golden morning sun. I repeat this every year and don’t really need more of these images, but I enjoy just being around these gorgeous animals watching them socialize, play, rest and nurture their young. These are some of my favorites from the last several months. This summer and fall will be the time to dive with them, and then I’ll take my cameras underwater and make even more sea lion photos. Cheers, and thanks for looking!
