Seal and sandstone

This baby seal makes a lot of noise, sounds like crying, whining,calling.    but Mom is always right by his/her  side.   I like how he was perched against the salt etched sandstone.  It rained about 10 drops while we were out rowing -we kept waiting in vain all day for more.  And that elusive osprey flew right overhead but alas, I couldn't get the shot fast enough.  I'll keep trying!  
Some time on broom patrol on a cloudy day and some time in the studio and then the treat for the day - Excellent dinner out on Galiano at a new restaurant with Islandcat (who will be away the rest of the summer) and hubby.  Of course a strong wind came up right before we were leaving after so many calm weeks, but heck, this was dinner out - so off we went - the alarms and warning lights went off in the boat on the way over but all was OK on the way back in calmed down waters....  mystery.....( boats... always something..!)  They followed us just to make sure.. Appreciated that...
