February 16

Safe and Sound on the Beach
This image was taken five minutes after the one below.
The mother and calf had a hard time getting on to the beach because of rough surf.
Harbor Seals are tough creatures that lead a rough life. I am amazed by the affection they show.

A bit of Mom's milk and this calf will grow stronger each day.
