Australian Fur Seal

o0o I think without a doubt related to "Nessie" ;-) oOo

Just possibly, Bev - though I always thought Nessie is a few sizes larger. :)

o0o depends how many whiskies you have drunk I guess ;-) oOo

Wonderful photo !

Indeed it was, Pam - so much so that I wondered if it wasn't sailing in circles in its sleep. :) Thank you.

Terrific capture!

Many thanks, William.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Both pictures are fantastic, but I especially love the second one because the silhouette is so awesome and the leading line of the shoreline brings me right back to that silly seal! The main picture is just so darn CUTE!! Seals are just captivating, now nice that this one was comfortable around people so everyone could get pictures! :) Wonderful to see this doll in the wild! :)

Thank you so much, Janet. Having this seal around was a constant source of interest - and, as you say, so captivating. What made it so special was that these were almost exterminated in the 1800s for their fur, so it is very special that their numbers have increased and that they now are so relaxed near people.

Thank you, Bev. I hope your weekend has been as pleasant as mine. :)

o0o ;-) so far brilliant ;-) o0o

How marvelous to have watched this creature loll around.

Thank you Esther, absolutely.

Fascinating...the seal really seems to be sleeping :) it's wonderful that it's not scared of people.

Thank you, Gerda. They're now protected, so that might be a partial explanation why it is so unconcerned.

Fabulous capture and a wonderful creature.

Thank you, Ron.

such a captivating sight !
I do envy that opportunity of yours
must have been exciting to follow his dance...

Thank you very much, Christel. Yes, it was great to watch him perform for the onlookers.
