Our beloved sea lions have been wandering back to K-dock at Pier 39 over the past few months. They mysteriously disappeared for a while, rumored to have "vacationed" up in Oregon and are now coming back home where they belong. There are about a third of them who migrated back in order to entertain the tourists and locals alike. I hadn't been to the Pier in a while but found myself in that area last week so I thought I'd check out our friends on K-dock. They are still barking away and drawing the tourists like ants to honey. For more information on them visit: http://www.pier39.com/Attractions/index.htm

I'm glad they are retunring, they were a real treat to see from the piers. Great photos.
It must be a pleasure watching these lovely creatures. Never seen a sea lion myself.
They look a bit tired. Oh they just take their time relaxing ?!
Thank you.
Wow, what a view on these sea lions.
Hurrah! They are back! I had heard they had left and am happy to hear they have returned. I visit them whenever I get up that way.
Amazing! I would love to see them:)
Nice to see that Pier 39 is happily occupied and back to its old self again.

oh, good to hear about that Jo, somehow, when I think of Pier 39, the sea lions come to mind first.
I can see how they could attract a crowd. That would be amazing to see. Glad they returned to where they belong :)
Maybe they were visiting their cousins at Sea Lions' Cave on the central OR coast. Great shots of these beautiful creatures.
wow... that is one heck of a population of sea lions. i have never seen anything like that before. the only sea lions i saw were those in the theme parks. great shots.
Jo, I've never seen sea lions other than on animal planet and your photos brought me right there with a front row seat. Loved it!
