34th Festival of Circus - the Sea Lions


The sea lions were having the best fun outside the circus tent. They had an enormous pool to swim in and were just like dogs with their master - obedient yet naughty at times...

These two are posing with a friend of the trainer - he's the guy (small pic) with his back to us with the curly hair.

Note: if you pose with a sea lion you get wet!

  8. Jilly, this is a prize winner. Joyful, silly, unusual and perfectly composed. I bet the woman would want all those wrinkles Photoshopped out, though.

    Shame, I have better photos than the one above, that was taken after a big kiss from Chico (on the left). I was very suprised and kind of "shocked" after that action!
    Sorry, I don't need "photoshop" :))

  10. No, you most definitely don't need photoshop. I was thoroughly envious of you that day and loved the rapport you had with the beautiful animals. Thankyou so much for leaving a comment.

    I have several other photos of you with the sealions, including a nice one of you with the sealion on the right, so do send me an email and I'll send it to you privately.
