This week's Photo Hunt theme is bulky. Funny how a post-Christmas photo hunt theme would be bulky - next week is jiggly . . . I sense a theme of themes!
Anyway.
Instead of posting pics of my own bulky self I decided to post a pics of an animal with a good deal of bulk!
In the fall of 2008 we visited San Diego. While on a harbour cruise we saw these enjoying the fall sunshine. For bulky animals they were quite adept at hoisting themselves up out of the water.
Lots of the slow travel community members also photo hunt when they aren't traveling. You can find their posts by clicking the links below.

I think I've seen the very same ones years ago when we visited San Diego.
You ask how cold is it here in South Texas?.....well, my answer [and bulky plumage of bird] is my Photo Hunt Post today. LOL

Nice photos, Jerry! Yes, I sense a theme too.. hmmm
I goofed for Photo Hunters this week, and did "12" instead of "Bulky." :S Oops. But I decided to leave it up because it's appropriate for this week... and because I didn't want to spend an hour doing a different post! I hope you can visit.

I hope they have thier sunscreen on:-)
'Bulky' could have been Paul's finger dressing, I hope its healing nicely. No washing dishes for a while.

They are bulky ones, of course. I think I heard that the ones at Pier 39 in SF have moved their bulky selves somewhere... Wonder where they went.

Hi Jerry, great photo and take on the bulky theme. I had to smile when reading your observation of the two themes back to back...
Have a great day!

Eden - I read somewhere thet they appeared in oregon. Perhaps a change in scenery was needed.
Thanks for visiting on photohunt Saturday!
