Sea Lion Day

Sea Lions just chillin' on a buoy (April 2011)

I am beginning to feel that I have set an unrealistic goal for myself, writing everyday in my blog.  Not that I have not been maintaining but I am on my 17th post and seem to be struggling.  The problem is that somedays there is just nothing that strikes me as picture worthy and some days there is just nothing that I feel the need to discuss and I find that on those days I have look through the photos that I have on my computer and everyone has a story but are they stories that people want to hear?  And there are so many of them.  I guess since I am mostly writing for myself I don't have to worry about that but I do.  So I end up with a random photo of Sea Lions hanging out on a buoy in the Pacific Ocean and musing about nothing. 

I do love this picture though.  For my friends 30th birthday (April 2011) I took her whale watching since she loves the ocean.  We went to Depot Bay and went out on a Zodiac out to find the whales, which we did. Along the way we passed this buoy with the Sea Lions hanging out on it.  I must say it is pretty impressive that they can get up on to it as the platform is at least a few feet out of the water.  I can't tell if the Sea Lions are slightly annoyed that we are disturbing their relaxing by driving by and giving us the stare down or if they are just relaxed and lazy that they are looking at us because we are simply there.  My guess is the later. 

To be honest that is how I kind of feel today.  I'm just sitting on the buoy, not really thinking anything, not feeling particularly emotional in any direction, just watching the boats go by waiting for tomorrow.
