Love the penguin shot! I've never seen so many in one place, it must be something really interesting for your father to see (or does he get sick of seeing all the penguins?;))

Are those elephant seals in the first two shots? I love the penguins shot as well. :)

He loves the penguins although they are stranded there for a year at a time, how many pictures of penguins could you take? Lol! Yes they are elephant seals, when you see them up against buildings they are absolutely huge.

Well it's still cool though. One could never get tired of taking photos of nature. :)

The only aquatic animals I could see up close are at the aquarium. :( The closest animal that is at the elephant seal's size was a manatee.
