As this month marches on I am counting down with great anticipation to October when my parents and sister will be arriving in Windsor for a visit with us. Funnily enough, last year at this time I was counting down to a visit as well – but back then it was me heading out west to spend some time with them.
I had a great little vacation, and while I was there tried to fit in as many of my beloved Victoria places to see and things to do as I possibly could. One of those excursions included a visit to Fisherman’s Wharf, complete with lunch at Barb’s Fish & Chips, a photo-taking stroll along the docks, and – of course! – a visit with the local seals and otters.
Even though I’m a little (rather, a LOT!) paranoid about dropping my phone into the water, I couldn’t resist (very carefully) snapping picture after picture of these beautiful creatures – and for today’s Photo Friday “Creature” prompt I’m sharing one of my favourites.
Photo Friday: Creature
Isn’t he gorgeous?! Revisiting the sight of that whiskered face with its enormous soulful brown eyes and subtle smile feels to me like a great way to head into the weekend.
Happy Friday!
Got any exciting plans for the weekend?
Please share!

What a great face! 🙂 Sounds like you had a lovely holiday last year and I’m sure you and your family will have a wonderful time on your turf as well.
Happy Weekend!
Highlight for us is another rock concert tonight: Scorpions with Queensrÿche.

I did about the same thing at a different Fisherman’s Wharf…about 19 years ago. :O) Nothing special going on this weekend. I probably ‘should’ use it to catch up on my book reviews.

Low-key, commitment-free weekends are really nice too. 🙂

He is gorgeous Laurel! You’re an amazing photographer.. Fingers crossed you’ll publish a big ‘ol coffee table book one day. 🙂 My plans are to visit a festival going on down town and get some much needed Christmas sewing underway! Happy Friday to YOU! 😀

Thank you! It’s so wonderful that they will come so close to the dock. Of course the fact that people can buy fish to feed to the seals probably helps! 😉

Looks very human to me! 🙂 Such a sweet face! I love how active they can get!
What a great thing to look forward to, Laurel! I am looking forward to having my son home for a week in Oct, too!
