Description
A Wounded Female Elephant Seal with Male
Sometimes you see much more with a camera than you do with your eyes, especially when you review the image online. At first I thought this was a pup, but later reading showed it was a female elephant seal who is much smaller than a male. The male had been laying 20 feet beyond her, and then moved closer. As it passed her, she sat up and they had a few words before she moved away. Upon studying that picture and the ones I shot before and after, I say that she had a wound that appears to be a bite mark, perhaps from a shark or an orca. This image, shows the wound most distinctly. I hope she can heal fully from the wound.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
