A local marina has cashed in on the appetite of their resident seals and sells small bags of frozen fish hunks for 2 bucks. Seal food. 5 seals today, more playful that I have ever seen them. A few of the seals have learned to put on a performance, and were splashing water at us with their fins! Quite a show, a lot of fun to play with them. Here are a couple photos I snapped.

Great shots! Amazing what they can learn when they want food.

The first I have posted here, actually. Any guidance is much appreciated.

Thank you for the compliment!

I don't know what you could really change, but I really like the one with the dog and seal. Very cool shots!
