Oh my gosh, his/her little face is just the sweetest thing! Seals have always been my fav animal...can't imagine what I'd do if I lived this close to them.
That face is just adorable. What a great shot you chose for us. What a fabulous experience to go see these seals each year. I'll be the girls love this outing.
Oh Helena, look at those eyes !!!!! I always feel tearful when I see baby seals, I have no idea why but they just melt my heart and this pic is PERFECT !!!!! love this, thanks for sharing
This is a super picture, we have a contender for photo of the month already!! i have never seen them on grass before, only on the rocks. This must be a sanctuary.
What a sweet face! I've always thought seal pups to be one of the cutest animals ever created :) What a blessing that you are close enough to witness the miracle of life in these amazing creatures!
TFS with us, Helena - Great shot - going into my Favorites ;D

How very interesting. You photo is wonderful and thanks for adding all the information along with it. So glad you got to go and that you shared with us.
About half and hours drive from us, is a little strip of beach, where seals come and give birth! We first went last year in the middle of November! We went back today! At today's count there was 1,734 seals born. They come to the top of the strip to give birth and as the pups grow they move down towards the sea until they are big enough to swim away! I took over 300 shots and it was sure hard to pick out one!!! There is a little fence that fences you off from the seals, they are literally in touching distance, but if you want to keep your hand intact, don't the mama's are VERY proctective of their babies!!! I have included some extra photos, one to show how close, and two giving you the idea of how small the strip of land is and how many seals were there!!! When we went in Nov last year there was a lot more seals, it is coming towards the end of the season, will have to go sooner next year!
