It was a cold and windy day on Thursday. The wind pushed the water into a choppy surface on the Salish Sea.

At Edmonds, the waves smacked up against the beach in frothy rows.

No fool, this seal found a comfy dock to take a nap and avoid all the wave action.
Seals are common at the Edmonds waterfront. Mothers find the beach near the ferry a cozy place to leave the baby while mom goes hunting for dinner.
She never goes too far and will stick her head out of the water to watch if you get too close to her baby.
But today, it was just nap time.
Thank you, Lee, for this reminder of how lucky I am to live here.
ReplyDeleteThe long pectoral fins make me think that is a sea lion and not a seal.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct sir
DeleteSea lions and harbor seals! Harbor seals here year round with the sea lions typically being the males during non breeding times of the year. We’re lucky to have both of these types of pinnipeds right here off our shore in Puget Sound.
ReplyDeleteWhy do the Salish have any more claim to the Sound than any other tribe? It is Puget Sound.
ReplyDeleteDo a bit of research and you’ll know.
DeleteI hope the seal enjoyed its nap. They sure looked comfy!
