With the breeze picking up a bit today, the sea lions were packed in tight to each other keeping cozy while the gulls soared effortlessly in the wind. Always entertaining watching the happenings of the sea lions – how annoyed they get when one in the pile moves and disturbs the peace, some barking and huffing and then they slightly settle down until the next one moves. And repeat.
