This past Saturday Chris and I decided to take a break from packing/cleaning out the garage and take Pete for a walk. Chris grabbed my camera off the counter saying, "You never know what you might want to blog about..." (What would I do without him?!?) It turned out to be a good thing he did! A pretty big sea lion was perched on one of the docks, barking and swaying its head back and forth, putting on a pretty good show....and I got some pictures! I'm by no means a great photographer, and we were on the side of the harbor opposite of where the sea lion was, so the pictures are not that close...but if you click on them, they should blow up large enough to see the guy pretty well!
I usually hear the sea lions barking at night when I take Pete out, so it was a treat to finally see it in action. We've lived here for almost 9 months now, and have seen plenty of wildlife in the water, but for Central Texas folk like us, I don't think we'll ever get used to having marine life in our back yard!

That is so cool! When you saw the whales off the coast, do you know what type they were? I love marine life!!! I don't know why, but it fascinates me!
I do too Andrea! I've always wanted to go on a boat for whale watching. haha.
Good job Chris for grabbing the camera! Should have taken a picture of the two of you! :)
Yes, all you'll see in the great state of Texas are armadillas, skunks, 'possums, white-tailed deer, wild pigs, and, oh, a few snakes here and there. I'm sorry you'll miss the ocean, but us rednecks are missing you both pretty badly. Hurry home, now, ya' hear?!
