I have a long term project photographing bodysurfing sea lions. As usual, the winter season afforded me a few good opportunities to photograph the California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) bodysurfing waves at Boomer Beach near La Jolla Cove. In addition, there were unfortunately a few individuals on the point who were suffering from entanglement with fishing line or from laceration, probably caused by boat propellor (since the wound appears to be too clean on the edges for a shark attack). These are some of the better sea lions I made over the last few months. Cheers, and thanks for looking!
