Harbor seals
These are so pretty, aren’t they? I didn’t have a strong zoom lens and you can’t get too close without scaring them off the rocks, our boat captain (hi Chuck!) told us, so here’s a group portrait of harbor seals for you, taken on the waters off Anacortes, WA.
Watery Wednesday has amazing water photos of all sorts, Outdoor Wednesday has outdoor shots and Camera Critters, well, you get the idea. Also, Scenic Sunday and Weekend Reflections are well worth visiting.
Browse around here in a new search, tag or category. Water, perhaps? And you can always return to the latest post by clicking on Sara’s Fave Photos above.
Time for a little relaxing, eh? You can find lots of those guys (harbor seals I believe) down on the northern California coast as well.
Beautiful! That’s a sight you just can’t find in a zoo!
I love how they look so relaxed and can just hang. Jealous!
Lovely — I remember seeing seals when I lived in Oregon. They look like they are feeling fairly safe.
No seals in this neck of the woods…Great shot.
These seals decorating the horizon definitely give the rocky backdrop some character. ๐
Being this far away from the seals, you get more of the effect of their reflections in the water – I really love that!!
I actually like the wide view! They have such cute puppy dog faces!
Awww, so cute! I haven’t seen seals for real. You’re lucky!
My Watery Wednesday post
Wonderful shot, Sara! Living not too far up the road from you in Vancouver, (BC), we’ve been lucky enough to see seals when we’ve come down your way to Seattle…

Great photo!! Looks like a bunch of beach bums out there!!!
They look like they are looking right into the camera for you!
I can just hear them calling out: “Hey, look at me!” “Over here, over here.” ๐
love the seals…I just saw some off the beach in Nantucket yesterday..feet off, poking their little heads up in the surf.
Relaxing indeed!
Oh, I love them, Sara! And what a great capture for the day! Watery reflections are my favorite and the seals are so beautiful! Enjoy your weekend!
