Faraway Friday-My new Galapagos Friend
The Galapagos Seal Lion pup was soooo curious about us humans snorkeling. He just wanted to play. When they play with each other, they blow bubbles at each other.

I only got the shot as a mostly defensive maneuver putting my camera in front and remembering to still shoot!
