No camera angle, that was how close the guy was to the animals. We couldnt believe it, and we were careful NOT TO YELL, We didnt want to disturb the seals. The guy was there two hours he said. He left, and all was fine. Animals remained in the same position...seems Rip is losing some weight keeping up with M and M. She looks like she has gained alot of weight...guess molt to follow laters. We left our selves, hoping not to attract anyone from the highway. Seals are remarkable where they find spots to bask. They were just about 25 feet from the highway...spooky. Whats funny is, I noticed the guy first, staring at something, then noticed the seal. As we approached closer, we noticed M and M only. Then Rip came into view and that was a shock. Seals just blend into their surroundings so well.
