Carpenteria Seal Habitat, CA
photos by Petrina Lesko, March 2011



I am linking this post with Watery Wednesday and the Cloaked Monk's Blog - March Challenge for the 9th which is Exploration.

Exploring the Carpenteria Seal Habitat was pure bliss the other day.  We had a fabulous time taking pictures and watching the babies exploring the big world, playing in the waters, mothers always right beside them.
