Some lovely late afternoon beach shots.

An unusual sunset on the beach with a few main actors.

Here was the first main actor, a seal sitting on a rock in the sea.

Third time now that we see a seal near the beach and this time round it was just before sunset. At first we thought that the seal was injured, but not so, as it was the light that was playing tricks on us.
Oh! And I also have the sun in here slowly dropping out of the clouds, so I hope that you will enjoy the sunset on the beach.
Come and take a walk with us.

The seal was at a bit of a distance, but nothing that my zoom cannot solve.

The sunset started and this sculpture of a woman was an arty actor in the show.

And Marian in the sun ray was the last actor :)

Finally, I think that this guy was taking a nap before the next high tide action starts.

I did not want to place too many sunset photos, as I wanted to keep the post balanced between the actors and the sunset. Of course, the seal forms the main part of the post, as it is not often that we see them in this part of the ocean, and they are also great actors. A few months ago, I posted a seal on another beach playing with the seagulls, but this guy behaved like a king on his throne instead of on a rock in the sea.
Real royalty and a great show indeed.

I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.

And That's All Friends.

Your sunset photographs are pleasing to the eyes, especially where Mariam is standing. It's as if she is asking the sun not to go.

The sleeping seal is having a nap, 😆. Nature can really be pleasing to watch sometimes.

Great shots my friend

Hahaha, at first Marian refused to pose as she is camera shy, but I asked the departing sun to convince her.

Yes, a nap to recharge his energy before the big waves start to come in again.

!LOLZ

Excellent story and very nice pictures dear @papilloncharity . I couldn't help but "travel a little", when I saw the whiskers appear in the cover photo, to The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932).

I greet with much affection your warm work!

Sorry for the late reply as we are struggling with power cuts over here.
What I remember about The Wind in the Willows is something about a toad, but that was read by me many years ago.

Thank you for the kind greeting and may all be well with you.

Hey, you better not go anywhere to swim in the sea, as I am going to tell the seal that you call him a hedgehog. So he will be waiting for you !LOLZ

Well you know what human models are like. Very finicky and the seals are even more so, as they always try to look their very best.
I think that you can try a !PIZZA with a fresh fish topping 🤣
