Elena Kotrotsou from Drossia, Greece

Oh he looks so innocent! Where was that?

20 Nov 2008 8:03am

@Elena Kotrotsou: It was taken in Friday Harbor (San Juan Island, Washington). He came right up to the aft deck of our boat.

Craig from Vacaville, California, United States

Very cute! Well taken!

@Craig: Thanks, Craig. I was quite startled when he first popped up, but fortunately I had my camera in hand and was able to get the shot.

Jeff from Pembroke Dock, United Kingdom

When I was working on the river,one used to turn up every day after lunch,on the scrounge for food,and not one bit shy..Beautiful creatures,well captured you.

@Jeff: This one wasn't the least bit shy, either, Jeff. Probably waiting for me to toss him a bit of my breakfast. They are beautiful, aren't they?

Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States

So cute!! I love those guys -- they appear friendly, but they really just want your fish. LOL Great capture, Les. This one caught my eye in thumbnail version.

@Bookfool: I love 'em, too, Nancy. I think I was a seal or dolphin in another life. I love the water.

willow from Chelsea, United States

Beautiful animal! Great color in the water, too.

21 Nov 2008 12:08am

@willow: I thought the water was very pretty, too, Willow. Odd since we were in a marina with a lot of boat fuel.

Anita from Quito, Ecuador

Eye-catchin image! Lovely animal in a beautiful frame of soft colors.

@Anita: Thanks so much, Anita. He certainly caught my eye!

JJ from Jersey City, United States

beautiful capture, so cool he or she came right up to the boat

23 Nov 2008 3:12pm

@JJ: Thanks, JJ. I thought it was so cool, too. I was glad I had my camera handy, as it was fairly early in the morning. No boat activity in the marina, so he/she was content to swim around looking for a handout, I suppose.
