Peaceful co-existence
It can happen!
The calving season was about over [when this beach is closed to humans], and all kinds of people were walking up to the seals, who were either mildly curious or flat-out indifferent. Folks were respectful to the seals; we all knew we were having a special kind of experience.
I didn't know any of these people, and I hope they don't spot themselves in my photos!
