Description
I captured this image at an area known as the 5th Street Rookery in Pacific Grove, California, USA. There are a series of coves and beaches there where harbor seal mothers like to have their pups. This mother and pup dove just beneath the surface as they swam by my position when the angle of the light was just right to create what I find to be an interesting effect.
I watched them for at least an hour. When I first arrived they were napping on the beach as the tide came in until a wave washed junior off the beach. Mom naturally went with the little one in to the water and they swam around for quite a time as junior appeared to be really enjoying itself and mom seemed as if she’d have preferred to get back to her sunny beach nap.
Apparently human mothers aren’t the only ones who sometimes have issues getting the kids out of the pool.
