Waiting for an Opportunity

The young male elephant seal in the water is cruising in the surf. He is watching for an opportunity to come ashore and poke a female, (if you know what I mean.....). The large beach masters on the shore sleep with one eye open. They do not want these young males to come ashore and poke the females in their harem. Some will inevitably succeed with the dirty deed. That is where some of the drama begins. See you next week.

A lovely shot with the seal and the rock Garrett. Interesting narrative - the male of most species just love to procreate do they not? ............By the way, Garrett - Happy Birthday!!!

Gus, from Lonesome Dove, (see my avi) was always getting a poke, Garrett.
I would not want to get caught between one of these and their true love.
I like how he is peering out of the water.
Let the drama begin.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I love how you managed to get the creature staring straight at you and I love the detail and textures in this photo and the churning sea .Plus the light is amazing in this photo and the angle you took this photo from too.

It looks as though you're in the middle of an actual PBS nature series - how cool is that!!! Great shot btw:-):-):-)
