Exhausted Seals

view map

After a Winter Storm these seals sleep and relax on the beach. During the storm they stay in the ocean. Swimming in rough water for days is exhausting and dangerous.
There were at least 100 seals on the beach yesterday.

An amazing sight and wonderful capture Walter. CB I hope stupid people leave them alone while they rest up and regain their strength.

Excellent capture. I like how some are on their back while others are on their side or stomach.
