This fellow floated and snoozed for the entire 2 hours we were there hiking and taking pictures along the beach and sand dunes.

Sandy, so cute! It appears as if he's saying his bedtime prayers, too. The composition is nice also; he's placed just right and at a good angle too. Is it a seal pup?

Now thats the way to take a nap. . .floating blissfully on the water! Reminds me of when I floated like this on a foam mat in a Caribbean lagoon. . .it was soo relaxing to be rocked by the gentle swells of the water. :cool: Love the pose of this little guy, all stretched out with his hands folded as if in prayer. Well composed in the frame too. Very cute image, Sandy. :smile:
