He was so far out that all we could see was a little dot bobbing on the incoming tide. It was only when we got home and looked at what DH had captured with his zoom lens that we discovered our friend was nodding off. :)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-77535202280752087522015-04-20T06:28:34.202+01:002015-04-20T06:28:34.202+01:00I could watch seals at play all day!

They would fight it so hard and then suddenly succumb. Sometimes face-down in a dish of food. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-29443603612758810232015-04-19T15:30:00.313+01:002015-04-19T15:30:00.313+01:00Awww - adorable bedtime story.

We've not seen seals there before, but do see them in the Kyle at times.DH took them with his wonderful zoom lens, but it wasn't until we got home, downloaded and magnified them that we realised what we had got. Our weather has been more mixed than down south, but with some wonderful days of sunshine, interspersed with greyer and colder ones. One doesn't come north for the heat. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-73688900233976085122015-04-18T15:30:56.675+01:002015-04-18T15:30:56.675+01:00Congratulations to DH for such delightful photos.Congratulations to DH for such delightful photos.Rickyhttp://www.rickyyates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-53599725771173016532015-04-18T12:29:35.491+01:002015-04-18T12:29:35.491+01:00Lovely Lovely BacktoBodrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627125508442009313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-86958099343637144342015-04-18T11:40:29.217+01:002015-04-18T11:40:29.217+01:00Thanks, Annie.
