So poignant to capture this bond between pup and mother. I feel really touched by this … and perhaps because my own mother was not always available to me. As mother’s day approaches May your feel love for the generation before and the generation ahead.
Sending love to you and all mothers 💕💛🙏
Oh, Cindy, he is adorable. When I was young, there were still many a seal at Newport Beach and they would swim up to us on our surfboards, what t treat. Years later, it was the otters at Monterey Bay that stole my heart… Thank you for sharing these and I do hope the little fellow is okay.
I saw something a few weeks ago that made me think of you and my friend in Sacramento (an artist and photographer). I was heading back from Narbonne and there was movement, fluttering and the sky became rose pink as hundreds of flamingos decided it was time to move on to their summer quarters. I had my phone but nowhere to pull over for photos… ;( xxx
Bless … wonderful photos of the lone seal pup and a touching ‘story’ of its search for the mother. Reminds me of a children’s book I read as young when a lost duckling … hope the seal found its mother!
He’s a cutie, and great shots dear lady. We haven’t had any seals for many years until recently, the odd one will crawl up onto the rocks for a snooze to the delight of the locals (and me) 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋 😂 🤣
This makes me sad 🙁 I would love a happy ending… I can never watch shows where animals are hurt or eaten such as the Discovery Channel – it’s too much for me!
Happy Mother’s Day to you and for being a grandma to those two cute little boys.
Poor sweet thing. He is very beautiful.
At least it’s getting to live a natural life, however hard it is.
Canada still allows the clubbing of Harp Seal pups. This is despite outcries worldwide, and a falling seal products market.
It’s absolutely gross!!!! I’m ashamed!!!
I am so sorry. I wish you were PM. Who buys the coats of Harp Seal pups? Don’t answer, I’m already figuring it out, and I am sick to death of these markets. Imagine this as a seasonal job, clubbing defenseless harp seal cubs to death.
Well, no wonder we understand each other. I grew up with seals, and lots of the seafaring lads I grew up with, hate them. I love the seals, the lads? Not as much 😉 😉
Yes! I have seen it. It was magic. I still remember the soundtrack. It all combined, the story, the imagery and the soundtrack, so beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m2TEs6yZvY
We watched it again recently with our child and they loved it too, especially with how important the kids are to bringing the family back to the island.
They are beautiful. I can’t think of another animal that matches them… The deer around here try, however. Especially if they think there might be an apple handy. 🙂
Awww, so sweet! Hope it was reunited with its mom soon after the photos were taken!
I hope so too and thank you for caring Teresa დ

Love back to you Val and to all the mothers and babies დდ
Poor little guy! I hope his mom turned up.
A nice reminder for Mothers’ Day!
Happy Mother’s Day & thank you for caring Audrey დ
a real cuite!
Yes, he was. He went up to all the mamas as if to ask, “Are you my mother?” დ
like us,we all find our way through this life
დ
Poor little guy. It’s a lough life being a baby seal. Excellent photos.
It is tough being a baby seal. Thank you Timothy დ
Awww!! So sweet! And to think the Canadians beat these little guys to death. Totally criminal. I hope this little guy is safe. Thanks for sharing!
It takes a cold heart, and heartless cold cash, to enable anyone to club a baby seal to death. დ
What a cutie! I hope mom finishes her fishing soon!
Thank you Janis. I hope she does too დ
I was very touched by your photo essay. I hope the little guy’s mom returned soon.
I hope so too. There are a lot of sharks in these waters დ
I hope it found its mum and will survive.
I hope so too დდ
Such a sweet face! Hope Mama comes back soon. 🙂
Great images ♥️
Thank you! დ
I do hope she came back
I do too and thank you for caring დ
Hi there puppers, she’ll be back. With dinner!
Smiling!! დდ
Awww…..how cute is that pup.
Great photos. Hope the pup and mother were reunited quickly after the pup’s photoshoot 🙂
Thank you for caring about the pup Vicki. I hope so too დ
We have so many along our coast as well but I stay far away from them as their moms are FAST!
Yes. They are wild animals and one needs to keep distance! დ
What a sweet pup indeed. Mom has to work extra hard because we have fished out the oceans. Great photos.
Yes. Sadly true. I wish we were more temperate and responsible დ
Poor little fellow. I hope his mom showed up after his nap.
I bet they ate lunch, napped some more, and then went for a swim! დ
I hope she came back to him.
I think she did, with treats! დ
So cute. Reminds me of the seals we saw in the Galapagos. Babies as small as babies.
Alison
Seal pups are adorable aren’t they! დ
They are really quite vulnerable – nature can be unrelentingly harsh. I hope his mom came back.
I bet she did, with treats and lunch in that order! დ
in the last photo he even looks lonely
Yes. I think he was! დ
Well captured and captioned 🙂
Thank you Anne დ
Aww, I hope his mother wasn’t away too much longer 💕
I bet she came back with lunch! 😉
Hope so 🙏🏽

The otters are everywhere now and so are the seals. The Marine Mammal Protection Act is working! დ

Ahhhh, what a thrilling moment! I would love to have seen that. დ
No doubt. I thought of you and the photos you would have captured, and shared with us.
დდ
Bless … wonderful photos of the lone seal pup and a touching ‘story’ of its search for the mother. Reminds me of a children’s book I read as young when a lost duckling … hope the seal found its mother!
I know the book well. “Are You My Mother?” Poor little duckie! დ
Oh, bless! How adorable is he? 🙂 🙂 Fabulous images, Cindy.
Grazie mille Jo & cheers! დ
Cindy that’s so sweet
Merci beaucoup mon ami Sheree დ
😎
A fun photo story. I hope that sand can be easily washed off
A little dip-il-do-it!! 😉
::)
Aww…you’ve woven such a beautiful story to go with your photos.🙂
Thank you & very pleased you enjoyed დ
I love the spots on his pelt.
He is a spotted QT! 😉
It’s a cute seal pup. I hope it found its mom. 🙂
Thank you for caring & cheers to you დ
I’m sending you the seal of excellence! ♡(㋭ ਊ ㋲)♡
Seal u later, my friend!
(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
Sealed with a kiss back to you დ
(⁎⁍̴̛͂▿⁍̴̛͂⁎)*✲ﾟ*｡⋆♡ོ
How adorable! I’m sure Mama returned. It’s Mother’s Day weekend. 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day & I think she came back too. He looked quite healthy, albeit lonely დ
Reblogged this on Fae Corps Inc.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness & cheers to you Patti დ
Oh, I do hope mum comes back soon and gives him what he needs – love!
Yes, I hope so too. Mama animals seem naturally good at giving love დ
He’s a cutie, and great shots dear lady. We haven’t had any seals for many years until recently, the odd one will crawl up onto the rocks for a snooze to the delight of the locals (and me) 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋 😂 🤣
I love it when they just appear unexpectedly out of the waves! დ
This makes me sad 🙁 I would love a happy ending… I can never watch shows where animals are hurt or eaten such as the Discovery Channel – it’s too much for me!
Happy Mother’s Day to you and for being a grandma to those two cute little boys.
I am just like you. I bet the mama came back. Wishing all the mamas a Happy & Safe Mother’s Day! დდ
How cute he is!!!
He rings all the bells and whistles on the ‘cuteness meter!’ დ
Aww, so cute! I hope Mom showed up soon for it with lots of yummy milk or fish.
I bet she did!! დ
Awww, so cute!
Smiling….. დ
The puppies are cute all the time, no matter what kind of birds or animals they are.
Agreed! დ
How cute. You make the best friends Cindy!
I hang out with the cool crowd!!! 😉 😉
😎😎
So precious! I hope Mama and this little one reconnected. 🙂
I hope so too! დ
It’s super cute! Love your story!
Smiling. Happy you enjoyed & thank you! დ
Is there no end to your wildlife-spotting opportunities? Fabulous shots!
I hope not!!! Thank you & happy you enjoyed დ
Of course I did!
დდდ
What a sweet little pup Cindy.
Leslie xoxo
He was quite a winsome little guy დ
He was missing his mom….
He clearly was, poor pup დ
What an adorable pup. The last picture is wonderful. Thanks for the smile.
Thank you for your thoughtful appreciation & cheers to you!
I enjoy all your posts and your photos are just beautiful.
Cindy, these are great pictures! So cute. Thanks for sharing. 😁
I <3 people who <3 seals, so thank you! დ
Awww….I love people who love any kind of sea creatures! You’re welcome! 😍😍

Adorable. Have you seen the movie The Secret of Roan Inish? It’s one of my favorites.
Yes! I have seen it. It was magic. I still remember the soundtrack. It all combined, the story, the imagery and the soundtrack, so beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m2TEs6yZvY
We watched it again recently with our child and they loved it too, especially with how important the kids are to bringing the family back to the island.
Makes me smile for your child.
Thanks, Cindy. Very kind 🙂
დდ
He is so cute! Especially as he naps and waits for Mom! Moms are sooo important! Happy Mother’s Day to you, Cindy!
Moms are SO important! Happy Mother’s Day Kathy დ
It’s tough being a wild baby critter of any kind.
PS – Did you get my email?
No. I did not. Can you resend?
I resent. Hope you received.
Yes. I did. Replying now…
Aww… he is so cute!
Smiling. He is! დ
😀
Cute puppy 🙂
Smiling დ
Poor little fellow, I do hope his Mummy returned to him soon! <3
He looked quite healthy, so I am betting she did! დ
Poor baby — looks like he needs a hug! Hope his mama returned soon … with dinner!!
I’m betting she did! დ
So cute. I like the last one covered with sand. That’s quite the look. –Curt
Those beseeching eyes…. დ
They are beautiful. I can’t think of another animal that matches them… The deer around here try, however. Especially if they think there might be an apple handy. 🙂
A fawn is a clear contender…..
You bet! 🙂
დდ
Thanks for sharing. Looks like those animals are not afraid of man (or woman) anymore? Great. The way it should be.
Yes, they are protected which is also how it should be! დ
yep. That’s the way.
დ
He’s really looking a little sad.
He really was. Where’s my Mama დ
😉 xx I hope he found her, some hours later. xx
Ditto, and thank you for caring დ
Always with a great pleasure, and responsibility, Cindy! 🙂 xx
დდ
:-))
Wonderful fotos, thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you more for you thoughtful appreciation Marie დ
Happy Mother’s Day! That seal is adorable and so is your story about him! Where were these photos taken?
They were taken in La Jolla California at Casa Pool დ
Absolutely adorable Cindy!
Ahhh, so happy you enjoyed him & thank you! დ
Happy Mother’s Day Cindy! Adorable seal pup and I’m sure mom returned with a great meal!
Happy Mother’s Day Terri. I think she did too. He looked fat, but lonely! 😉
Awwww… what a cutie
Thank you Kally. He is quite the heartbreaker დ
So nice. I hope he finds his mom. Wonderful!
Awww, thank you Beverly & hope all is well with you დდ
All is well. Thank you.
Aww he does look sad. Poor soul!
Hopefully, mama came back soon with lunch! დ
I hope so! x
დდ
Great little flash story using the photos as a backdrop. Well-done!
Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated Benjamin. Thank you დ
You’re welcome! Hope you have a great Friday!
Visa versa 2UX2 დ

Breaks my heart for this little lonely pup…hope the mother returned swiftly.

Yes. It is a roll of the dice, for everyone alive. Thank you for caring დ
