we visited a seal colony on the central California coast around Thanksgiving and took a lots of photos. I particularly like this head shot of a sleeping seal covered with sand.

Too funny! Was that the best hairpiece the local wig shop had in stock?

Nice emotion! One word: contentment.

This is a fine portrait, but a bit underexposed (again). A Levels adjustment does make this look a bit better.

Hi John: Thanks for the comments they are appreciated. I need to brighten shots up a little before posting here, they seem to post darker then they appear on my computer screen in Lightroom or on flickr.
