                Ciel, I love looking at "Photo Highlights" on internet news pages.  These photos of that seal are better than any I've seen there.

                Yes, about 10 feet, I'd say... though of course these seals, being New Zealanders, use metric.

                Must be quite an experience being suddenly face to face with a large, somewhat suspicious seal, lol. How close were you, about ten feet or so?

                    TAPS, I don't think it was love so much as suspicion!

                Just darling.  He must have loved watching you.

                That was the first I knew he was there, just a few feet from me.  I tell you, there are seals concealed everywhere along that coast!

                    Mal, I figured you would find these pretty quick!
                
                That seal was my favorite--he made me laugh, and didn't chase me down the beach!
