Hello,Salut,Yasou,Salam,Ciao and Merhaba Everyone,

As most of you know I like posting interesting,colorful,unique and different photos because of this reason I decided to post a Humorous shot for coming Holidays(Also no snow around here yet) :)

**Some of you must wonder what is the connection this photo and Christmas so Let me explain for you;
Here in USA We have a American tradition Which watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on ABC.When I look at this Sea Lion with wide open mouth I see when everyone sings Christmas Carol(incl.Snoopy)with their wide open mouth in this cartoon.

*Background Green color is the real color of the Sea Lion's Pool water and no PS.

I wish you all my TrekLens friends Merry Christmas.
*I am gonna post a New Year photo next week:)


Cheers Y'all and God Bless,

Your TL friend from Indianapolis,Indiana:)
Chris Tolga

A sea lion is any of several marine mammals of the family Otariidae. Sea lions are characterized by the presence of external ear pinnae or flaps, long front flippers, and the ability to walk on four flippers on land. Sea lions are generally found in coastal waters of the temperate to subpolar regions of both northern and southern hemispheres.

Sea lions are often a popular attraction at zoos and aquariums, performing tricks such as throwing and catching balls on their noses and clapping.

Sea lions of many species have seen a severe and rapid decrease in numbers in recent years. Many factors including overfishing of other species, shooting by fishermen and pollution have probably contributed to the decline. The population of Steller's sea lions in Alaska has declined as much as 80% since the 1970s
