365 Project, Day 152
Here is my day 152 submission to my 365Project:
This afternoon I went for a lovely walk along Willows Beach and Cattle Point in Victoria. I used to live in a house right on Willows Beach (lucky me!) so I always enjoy a wander along the beach remembering the days I spent when I was young running and playing up and down the beach and drifting around on the log rafts I constructed. I was much more tolerant to the frigid waters in those days!
Of course, what would a visit to a beach in Victoria be without the sighting of some sort of marine wildlife. Today we spotted a harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) swimming around just off the beach, at one point chasing a fish underwater right in the shallows. I loved this photo of him (or her!) glancing back towards us looking a little uncertain.
