Photograph by @paulnicklen for @natgeo on the Ross Sea, Antarctica. A mother Weddell Seal was sound asleep on the sea ice and I never knew that she had a pup hiding behind her until I got #busted. The pup went right back to sleep and I went back to photographing Emperor Penguins. We are working on an interesting story in #Alaska this week so please feel free to #follow me on @paulnicklen to see more. #cute #wildlife #nature #beauty #love #picoftheday #seal #natgeocreative #thephotosociety @sea_legacy by natgeo http://ift.tt/1ITVcUd – Gatlinburg Garden Castle Rainbow Tower Library Imagination Station Temple Water Spirit Guardian Labyrinth Treasury Magic Healing
