These Harbour Seals were photographed off the coast of British Columbia, where we spent seven days aboard a sailboat exploring the area looking for Marine Mammals to photograph.

Harbour Seals come in a wide range of colors, and the spots/speckles on each of them are all unique. These two show how varying the colors can be, with one blonder one, and one brunette one. I love the large black eyes of the Harbour Seals, and especially like how the Blonde one has black rings around the eyes, really drawing attention to them.
