The Seal in the Harbor

with 6 comments

Apologies for the short break, and for the quality of this photo. It’s a close crop of a seal (I don’t know what kind — harbor? hooded? grey?) from very, very, very far away.

All in all, there were probably about 50 or so seals of varying sizes and colors resting on the beach or swimming around.

Update: Dr. Artie Kopelman has ID’d this seal for us as a harbor seal. Thanks, Dr.! (10 April 2009)
