    Great captures, Andy. clap.gifclapthumb.gif

    My daughter lives in Alaska, and looking at these photos makes me think that it may be worth putting up with all that cold weather. On the other hand, I don't have to worry about freezing to death here in Florida.

    Oh wow.
    I am so incredibly envious! (and I can't wait to see more of these pictures...)

    Love all the shots, but the harbor seal is just special.

    That baby seal is a superb capture!!
    C&C always welcome. I can't learn if I don't know what I've done wrong or could do better.

    Just love that baby seal! So very beautiful.
    I like the starfish that stands out from the crowd, too.
