That's right kids, I finally got to see those amazing
Christmas Seals in Sandy Hook!!
These Seals appeared on Christmas Day,
and will stay the winter, leaving around mid-March.
They don't always hang around on this sand bar,
last weekend when I went, they were no where to be found.
No sightings had been reported that day.
Here two are swimming about and seem to be coming in
for a closer look at all of us.
for a closer look at all of us.
When they jump up out of the water, they look like baby dolphins.
About 20 in all, it was an amazing sight to witness.
I think about nature and wildlife all the time,
I try to express my feelings with words, but I am not sure it is possible.
With all the progress and commercial growth in the world today,
I am awestruck with natural sightings such as this.
An amazing walk on the bay beach, on a beautiful winter day.
Life is good and I was over come with joy!!
Life is good, and I am overcome by your joy.
ReplyDeleteHow nice!! I am so glad that you got to see them finally. It looks beautiful there. Cold but pretty.
ReplyDeleteLife is good. And your joy reminds me, day by day, to dwell in that place with that perspective. Your joy is contagious! I saw hundreds of seals on coastal rocks in San Diego years ago...it really was a sight to see. And I, too, have turned to the natural, created world these last years and found so much comfort and inspiration!! Who knew there was a nature gal living in this citified suburbanite!!??!

ReplyDeleteHow cool! I've never seen seals except at zoos. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely thrilling! I didn't know the seals overwintered there. What a marvelous experience getting to see them! I saw one seal once in the "wild"...I was walking along a desolate Pacific beach with an older girl long ago and we saw a head pop up out of the water, watching us. We both said, "Is that a DOG?" We kept watching, and the seal suddenly flapped up out of the water and dove deeper. It was truly thrilling!
