So pinni-precious. 🥺🦭

Pupping season is winding down as summer begins, but the harbor seal spectacular is just getting started!

After giving birth, harbor seals will linger at the rookery as mothers bond with their pups and teach them the ways of the water. The little ones follow in mom’s flipper-steps, learning important life skills like hunting, galumphing, and riding waves onto the beach for a well-deserved nap. It’s tough work, but somebody’s gotta do it! 🦭

Harbor seals are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, a key U.S. law that protects seals, whales, otters, and other beloved aquatic species from harmful human activity. 

If you venture out for some seal spotting this summer, stay quiet and keep a distance of 50 yards. It’s more than just the right thing to do–getting too close to marine mammals like harbor seals can mean big fines and even jail time for a law-breaking human!

So mellow out, settle in, and enjoy your day on the bay with the chill vibes of a sleepy harbor seal. 🏖️☀️

January - May

These were taken around the same time of day (10:30am) so it's really interesting to see how the sun is different too!

In 16th-century Germany, an engagement ring was crafted to unfold into a tiny astronomical sphere.

When opened, it reveals a miniature armillary sphere — a model of the cosmos — engraved with the phrase: “The whole universe is in your hands.”

This rare piece symbolized both romantic devotion and scientific wonder, blending love with astronomy.
