Sea Lion Hello
Sea lions are quite a tourist attraction at San Francisco’s Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf. The animals first showed up in 1989, and have made their home there ever since. Sea lion numbers rise and fall with the seasons and food supply. Activity is lowest in summer, when most of the sea lions migrate south for breeding season. The animals are endlessly entertaining. Visitors always laugh when they watch them! Imagine yourself there with the cool fog on your face, the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, and these raucous sea lions in front of you. Adding to the ambiance are the deep booms of a fog horn and sea gulls calling overhead – what fun! A live cam is at: http://www.pier39.com/home/the-sea-lion-story/sea-lion-webcam/

Such loves! I do get a kick out of these gentle giants. Great shots, Pam!
They are so fun to watch – they bark, quarrel with each other, crawl right on top of one another, and make the funniest noises. There is a restaurant on the second floor above the sea lions at Pier 39 where you can eat and watch the “show”.
You really captured some great images of them!
Thanks! It is always fun to see them. And afterward I like taking a boat tour out under the Golden Gate Bridge (assuming it isn’t totally fogged in!).
amazing pics you have taken ..nice blog dear
Thank you very much!
