But the best thing we saw there yesterday was four spotted seals.
I love how when I was taking this photo, it felt like the seal was looking right into my eyes.
The claws on the front flippers.
This seal is named Ying-Yang. And yes he really does have two different coloured eyes. The colour is a bit off (tried to fix it up a bit but to no avail) because Yin-Yang was underwater at the time.
Some shots of their rear fins (sorry but I don't know the correct name) while they were underwater.
At one of the fish stores you can buy a container of fish of some sort to feed the seals. These are smart seals. They know if they hang around long enough they can pretty much eat to their hearts content. In fact, they will even come up to your hand to eat if you hold the fish out over the water.
These are some very large seals. You can tell that they love the tourists who feed them.

Wow great shots Theresa :) I have only spotted seals 2x both times were on the island but not in Victoria! The one with the belly shot is definitly large ha!
Wow, some of those pictures are unreal! I love the underwater ones, the reflection of the water on the seals make a great image!
How freakin' jealous am I?!?!?!
I love love love that you captured some of their physical details and I really like how they appeared to be staring right into the camera!
GREAT shots Theresa!!!
