Puppy Season

Puppy -- as in baby seal pups! 

Every late July / early August since we moved to Victoria, we've seen the yearly gathering of momma seals and their babies on Colvile Island, which is just in front of our home. This year, we also saw them on an even smaller island just a little further west of us. 


The lighting was particularly good a couple mornings ago so I got out there with my camera before it changed. 



I was just about to head back inside when I realized that Andrew, who'd headed out earlier for a walk, was also busy taking photos of them! He got a bit closer than I did, plus has a larger telephoto so I'm sure he got some really good ones!

Momma and Baby Seal

Last August, after we first took possession of our new home in Victoria, we often saw a mother seal and baby on the little island just in front of our place. 

Momma (presumably the same one) is back again this year with another baby but we've only seen them about three times. Too bad, as they are very cute! 

Photo taken by Andrew as he gets much better shots than I do.
