This baby seal, I was told, was born this morning at around 4:30, so it was about 12 hours old in this picture.
I watched it swim near the beach with the adult seal, presumably its mother, who was very protective of it.

This is such a touching image... I love the impression of protection of the "mother" against the crashing waves. Ahhh, i love this...

This is perfect picture to make a mother's day card!

This really shows how protective the adult is so the baby won't grt pulled out by a wave. Perfect timing to capture the wave. Voted.
