That first picture is really great!
Funny story--when I came across a pod of dolphins on the ferryboat toward Santa Cruz Island, one of them appeared to be a lumpy brown color each time as he was leaping through the waters in the midst of them. When I got a better look, it turned out to be a sea lion! Looked like he was having a blast!
