Thanks Ava. I checked out Emma - amazing! Now I have 2 people to follow so far - you & Emma. Thanks for the heads up. I found out about some harbor seals that spend the winter on the beach about 15 miles from me. Plan to head out there early next week with my camera. Many thanks again! Best Lorelei

This is a fun site! You should check out people like http://www.projectnoah.org/users/Emma+ who have over 1,000 spottings!
