I'm feel very fortunate to be able to see them in their natural environment! These guys took over a beach that used to be the "Children's Pool" because it was protected by a jetty. Now no one can enter the area because the seals no live there. There's been a heated debate for years but I think it's wonderful!
How adorable...must be awesome to see them "live" and in action!! :) Great photo's!

Lovely Cindy! He's winking at you in the first photo!
