    Default Don's new friend on the beach

    Don went to our local beach after doing some grocery shopping this morning. He set up his chair by the tide pool area where I like to take photos.

    He saw a girl swimming and something large/dark behind her coming in. At first he was worried that it might be a small shark and got up to warn her. But no, it was a seal heading in. He sat back down and relaxed. Low knowing that this guy was going to end up being his buddy for part of the day.

    He came in like the shows at Sea World, road the wave in and slided over the sand. As you can see his face is full of sand. Love the expression, "I'm pooped, you can take all the photos you want, I'm not moving!" He stayed right where he landed about five feet from Don's chair. Never left, wasn't afraid when Don got up to get stuff out of his cooler or move the umbrella. Listened when he talked to him. Yes, we talk to all wild life, we're a bit loopy that way. I even talk to the crabs when I talk pictures of them.

    I'm quite jealous 'cause I've only seen them swimming or on the rocks, never on our beach. But I'm glad Don had some company while I'm with the kids. lol The Hawaiian Seal (per life guard) not sure if a Monk Seal is the same, did bark with Don, guess he was happy with Don's conversation. haha

    At least Tigger the Tiger Shark wasn't there today 'cause he's over 10 feet long and he scares off the scuba diver tourists that like to stop off over the turtle reef. The life guards think it's funny that I've named him that, I don't think like any sharks, not even the sand sharks that supposedly won't even bite your toes. A shark is a shark in my book! Let me stick with a cute SEAL!!
