Isn't he a cutie? One of the babies I think, lounging on the rocks. I have to give my husband the credit for taking this shot. All the others to follow are taken by me....

Asleep in the carpark.... still very cute

They made a nice silhouette on the rocks in the mist.

Seeing how close I can approach without invading their personal space...

Quite close as he was asleep almost as if dead (the first time I saw them was in the carpark when we pulled up, a little group of 3 of them, and they were so still I thought they were all dead!). I was so relieved to see their chests moving.

No action here at all...

Not much movement here, just a flipper waving lazily in the slight breeze, otherwise he appeared completely asleep.

    Greg (the artist) is a fantastic guy - extremely friendly and extremely talented. We believe that his maternal/paternal ancestors are maori. Tattoos are expensive but not as much as UK, and designs are so unique. We'll go back!

    Nice photos in your T-logs and tips, it brings back memories. When we did a long walk we invaded some sea lions space and he was a bit agressive towards us, so be always careful. Great page.
