Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at 11:54:30 PM · 2026/Drakes Beach Elephant Seal Pups
This wildlife photograph captures an intimate scene of elephant seals hauled out on a beach during what appears to be pupping season. Several large adult seals in tan and brown coloring rest alongside smaller, darker-colored pups on the sandy beach. In the middle ground, a group of seagulls stands in the shallow water near the surf line. The scene is serene and peaceful, showing the animals in their natural habitat during a rest period. The soft, overcast lighting creates a gentle mood, with the wet sand reflecting the sky.
