Espanola Island hosts one of the largest Sea Lion colonies in the Galapagos. On its beach in Gardner Bay, I found dozens of them dozing in the sun, and more than a few pups nursing at the sides of their mothers. I moved in on this pup just as it turned away from its dinner to check me out. The sun was coming from behind, abstracting the mother and much of the head of the pup, yet still defining the whiskers that give the animal much of its identity.
