"The cool blue waters surrounding Espanola Island, in the Galapagos, is inviting and refreshing, especially with all the friendly sea lions getting up close. This blue eyed Galapagos sea lion was scratching its ears just as I released the shutter. I couldn't stop laughing at this comical movement, it was as if the sea lion was asking me to tell her something," shares Jenny as she recounts this precious underwater moment.

"All you see sea lions do most of the day is nap, nap, nap," reminisces Jenny Chua. "You seldom see a sea lion sleeping alone. They like to stay together and cuddle up as close as possible for warmth, softness, and security. I crept up to four dozing sea lions, zooming into them trying to capture their content expressions. The hint of paradise is just at the background. The sounds of waves splashing on the shore become a sweet lullaby under the afternoon sunshine."

A school of yellow tail surgeon fish, their tails like yellow scissors, swiftly passes by like an underwater curtain revealing the treasures of underwater life. "Through the blue hues we can see a sea lion taking a second glance as the water's new reverberation catches it off guard," says Jenny Chua as she recounts her experience while taking this photograph. "Second glances always make me curious as to their motivation, whether quick or in secret, it's something so instinctive, that all animals seem to do it."

"Sea lions are very curious and they love bubbles, so my trick was to blow bubbles to lure them towards me," says Jenny Chua as she shares her adventures in the Galapagos. "The playful sea lions were diving into the water from a rocky outpost, and this speedy sea lion was swimming through the bubbles, delighting in their texture and feel. It closed its eyes, just like we humans do in enjoyment, as if there was nothing more heavenly than this."
