Seal pup close encounter

A short stroll in the neighborhood (Vaxholm, Bogesund) turned out to become a seven hour photo walk. Spring is here, it is still a bit chilly and the green is yet to come. At a cape called Broknäs, but also named "the Paradise" by the locals I stumbled upon a seal pup. This is the first encounter of seals I have had during 25 years in Vaxholm. The pup seemed abandoned, but I have read that the parents can leave them while hunting for food. He was totally unfearful, let me patiently photograph him and even talked to me! The day after, I returned at day break, but he was now gone hopfeully full and united with his mother. See more photos here http://contextphoto.com/albums/spring-at-bogesund/
