August 24: Dried kelp at Bauer Bay

I was picking up marine debris when my eye was drawn to this rock as I thought it was draped in plastic wrap. It was just dried kelp.

August 23: Sun basking Leopard Seal

This Leopard seal was basking in the sun this afternoon on the west beach near the Isthmus. The fellow has such a beautiful pelt, and such tiny whiskers compared to the fur seals!

August 21: Orcas...if you look hard..

This morning Orcas visited us in Garden Cove. I charged up the  Wireless Hill track to view from the Seismic Hut. They played around off the point for a while. By the time I came back with my camera they had moved out into the bay... but here are some pics anyway...

Slightly more reliable than a sasquatch photo!.. just
