Seal.

I didn't know whether to post this or not.

Seals always come into the beach here in Hatteras during the winter.

They usually come in to rest and sun them selves I guess...

The last time I was able to photograph one I was still using film...

I took Jackson with me out to the point at sunset and there was one hangin' on the beach.

He looked to be dead at first but then after a while he/she lifted it's head.

So I was excited to get some photos.

It didn't even move when I walked over to it.

Once I started shooting he/she started to check me out.

The more I shot the more I noticed something wasn't right.

I am not going to speculate how it got injured.

I felt really bad for the poor guy/girl..

I melted when Jackson came up to me and said that he prayed for the seal.

Was cool to be able to photograph a seal, just not under these conditions.

That's why I still don't know if I should post..

But I am anyway...

Sorry if it offends anyone.
