Occasionally Hooker's sea lions haul out on our local beach, to get a bit of shut-eye.

This one had hauled herself across the sand to cuddle up to a log. She was well camouflaged.

She must have heard us talking, as she raised her sleepy head up to sniff our scent, before snuggling back down for a deep snooze.

We kept our distance - these shots were taken at the full limit of my camera - about 30feet away I'd guess.
