Photography Friday – La Jolle Cove Sea Lions
One time my super cool California friend took me to La Jolle Cove near San Diego, and I was surrounded by sea lions and harbor seals.
This trip was made even more fantastic by three things:
- I listened to a This American Life episode years ago all about the cove and the battle between animal activists and beach patrons. It’s really interesting, and you can listen here.
- You can get close enough to touch the animals. Of course I don’t suggest this, because a fully mature male sea lion is pretty damn intimidating but hey… people without zoom lenses were braver than I.
- I had my camera and got to pretend I was a National Geographic wildlife photographer.
So yes, super awesome.
I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Happy Friday!

SUPERWEANER!!!!
Please tell me there was a little old lady volunteer there with a binder of pictures telling people bout superweaners.
I legitimately have no idea what you are talking about.
Oh I’m so jealous! This was one stop on my whirlwind SD weekend I didn’t get to do. The seals in san Fran were fun, but so cool that you got to get SO CLOSE.
Those photos are fantastic!! So many adorable, fat, blorpy creatures! I just wanna squish a harbor seal. 😀
How awesome! I was literally right there a little over a year ago and loved it. It was the first time I had seen wild sea lions and seals. So glad you got to go.
Sleeping sea lions basically look like my living room at bed time, filled with fat lazy animals.
I think seals and pugs are exactly the same.
Love these photos!
made me smile!!! Great photos!
Nice pics, Lauren! Their coloring is very pretty–neutral and mottled. And that one all snuggled in together with the smile. They are so cute.
They’re so beautiful <3
So smelly tho, right? Great shots!! There are some really great breakfast places near the cove, but far enough away that you don’t smell it. I hope you got to take advantage of that as well 🙂
Just so you know, it’s La Jolla not Jolle. 😉 Great pics!
I had my senior pictures done there <3 obsessed with that place
Love all those amazing pictures that you took!!! They all look so real. Great job:)
