Beautiful viewings, reminiscent of our 'tropical days'.

Our tickets were timed for the feeding of the penguins.

They are so much fun to watch with their waddling and swimming.

Please go to see a few videos on Facebook.

This small variety is from Australia.

They are quite small, shaped like football, and have thousands of feathers 

that are so tightly packed that when they swim they never get wet.

A beautiful day along the San Diego shore.

And a glimpse of the Sea Lions in the La Jolla area.
