On a recent visit to New Zealand, we were driving down to Dunedin from Christchurch. Along the way we pulled off to an area called Shag Point which had a seal lookout. I didn’t expect to see much of anything, but we thought why not give it a go. To my absolute JOY there were plenty of seals baking in the sun.

We followed all instructions and kept a good distance away, behind the fences, as not to disturb them.

They were so adorable….it was relaxing to be in the presence of such chillaxed creatures. Let me show you some pictures.

This lil guy is out on exile island, not another seal in site on this side.

This little bean just chillen in the sun. I think it’s a little baby one because it’s grey.

Then we have this little loner doing his thing.

It was such a great little surprise to be greeted by their little faces on the shoreline. Experiences like this help me to put my work and life stressors into context, to feel a bit more grounded.
