While snorkeling with the sea lions in Galapagos, they came right up to our masks. They were very curious about us, and it was so awesome to have a wild animal in its own environment chose to interact - not for food, not for any reason but free choice and natural curiosity. One touched me with a flipper! They went by so fast it was very hard to get a photo, and I was using a cheap disposable underwater camera too. I would have loved to get photos of the young ones playing with sea stars and sea urchins - very much puppies of the sea!!! But these are at least decent enough shots to remember the experience by.
