Swimming with Wild Seals!!
In the early Spring, I seen a Photograph taken by a locally photographer, In that photo was a child holding out his hand and below his hand was the ocean, and in that ocean was a wild seal that came out to smell the child’s hand. I was amazed and I had to see this phenomenon for myself. It took me a few weeks to see this for myself.
The first week I went to the docks; People were coming down to the dock with totes full of left over salmon heads and Bones from doing there salmon canning. Dumping the unusable portions is done every year by the locals, some use it as fertilizers but most people just dump it out. While I was there a few seals swam around the dock picking the choice parts and going back to deeper water. I was able to get a few photos, But not the photo I wanted.

The following week was much of the same. But on the third week I went down to the Docks with my wife and a fellow photographer, I got my shots and video I wanted.

We were told by some locals, to splash the water to bring the seals in closer. As we put our hands into the cold ocean and started to splash around a few seals popped their heads out a hundred feet out, and looked at our general direction. They dove in to the ocean and a few minutes latter a Seal popped up a few feet from our hands. In a matter of an Hour we had 8 seals coming up and checking us out..

Here are the Pictures and video Of that Day.
