California Comes North......

Say what?  California in British Columbia?

Why yes, indeed, it's true.....the lovely

California Sea Lion colonies have made their

way north to the waters off Vancouver Island to

feast on the annual herring run.

So, without further ado - here are the

seal-ebrities *groan* from California!

And some fishing boats thrown in for good measure....

Mr. Biff and I stopped at Fanny Bay just to stretch our

legs and were greeted with the loudest barking you can

imagine.  These beauties are anything but quiet and are surprisingly

HUGE!  I don't know how many were crammed onto the

floats but they were constantly vying for the best position.

One of the many reasons I love the Pacific Northwest - nature

is never further than your back doorstep.
