User / Ian@NZFlickr / A boring walk on the beach - not
6,572 items
About 150 kg of rapidly advancing mother sea lion! When I woke this morning it was dull and grey. I forced myself to walk to the beach near our holiday stay. The beach was deserted, cold, bleak, sand was blowing in my shoes. I started walking the half hour to the far end of the beach and started regretting having no breakfast, deciding the camera was heavy and I wasn't going to see anything down there. But at the far end were some NZ sea lions, one of the rarest seals in the world. Nearly hunted to extinction in the 1880's. I stayed well clear but this one decided I had taken enough photos and started charging. Amazing how fast they can move on flippers!
My adrenaline shot for the day. I hope you are not having a boring day, things can change :)
