San Diego was one of the destinations on my recent trip to California. I captured this image of sea lions enjoying a rest on the beach in the Village of La Jolla, California.
I captured this image using my 70-200mm lens handheld. Thanks for stopping by.

Wow, fantastic photo. Lucky you visiting such a lovely spot and getting such a great shot.
Thanks, Mo. It was exciting to be so close to them. It was a great experience.
Great shot. You did both Yosemite and LaJolla. It sounds like there was a roadtrip involved.
Thanks, Christopher. Yes, it was a road trip and an adventure. My wife and kids had never been to the west coast. We flew into San Diego. Spent some time there before heading to San Juan Capistrano, Los Angeles, Yosemite, San Juan Bautista and San Francisco before returning home. Everyone had an incredible time.
That sounds like a great trip!
Wonderful
Thanks, Barb.
Beautiful photo! I like the sleek, velvety texture you captured on the sea lion coats.
Thanks, Lavinia!
Great capture with the timing on the breakers.
Thanks, Don.
Really a great shot Toby!
Thanks, Dalo!
Toby, great pic! I’ve been there, taken my own pictures, and let me tell you, they never looked as beautiful as this! Wow.
Thanks for the kind words. They are a fun subject aren’t they?
A magnificent photo that captures the grandeur of the ocean spray and the resting sea lions. I’m not sure village is the right term for La Jolla. UCSD is located there, which offers the country’s greatest research lab in marine biology. Also, there is the Salk Institute, designed by architectural visionary, Louis Cahn. For a special photographic treat, and a feel for the infinite, I cannot recommend the Salk Institute too highly.
Thanks, Robert. I’ll put the Salk Institute on the agenda the next time I visit. As far as “Village of La Jolla” is concerned, I would have to agree with you. I think it has obviously grown since it was named. They must just keep the name out of tradition.
I love this. Great capture.
Thanks, Sonya!
La Jolla where Doc went to collect on a low tide! Sorry, reference to Steinbeck and his Cannery Row / Sweet Thursday. Lovely!!! I so much want to go there… Hopefully one day
Great shot!
Thanks, Regina. I hope you’re able to find the opportunity.
Nice with the waves! Gives a little extra to an already beautiful picture! Compliments!
Thanks for the kind words, Pieter.
Great capture! The shine on the skin of the sea lions make me wanna go there and touch them! 😀
One thing you cannot capture in a photograph is aroma. These happy little sea lions were a pretty sight playing and laying on the rocks. However, they didn’t smell pretty in the least. I might attempt it if I had a bar of soap with me to wash my hands in the surf.
hahah…very well..
Well u can try that next time! 😀
