    Default octopus graveyard (graphic)

    I always get excited when I see seals feeding, they are so exuberant! this one was a bit out of my lens capabilities, so I've done my best with them, just wish the seal had been a bit closer.

    couldn't figure out what this giant red blob was, but the gulls where getting excited


    Turned out to be a seal with a giant pacific octopus

    I gotta say I agree with Richard here...great moment you captured! I like how the gulls are sitting waiting for any opportunity here to catch the scraps!
    A couple of years ago I stayed at Point-no-Point out in Sooke and caught a few shots of an otter eating a crab on a rock very close to shoreline...he was pretty fun to watch.

    I would say you did VERY well with these Jude. Very sharp and entertaining set. Love it.
    (btw, which lens are you using)?
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
