So long sea lions

A herd of 1,500 or so sea lions used to hang out right next to Pier 39 in San Francisco. They were so close I took this picture without zooming when Julie was in town Nov 14.





When we went to see the same thing with Mare on December 31, this was all we saw:






I thought it was a fluke, like they were out hunting or something, but apparently not. Day after Thanksgiving they all up and left for the Oregon coast. Maybe Oregon was having better sales. Everyone here is sure they'll be back by spring. I hope so. Ella loves the "sea wy-ons".
