LA JOLLA SEALS
LA JOLLA SEALS
I wanted to include another mention of the seal beach in La Jolla, CA. We visited there this summer and were immediately enchanted by the local seal colony in residence. The Friends of Seals organization that was distributing information that day no longer appears to maintain a website so I add this link, it reveals a good panorama of the area surrounding the beach and of course, the seals.
It would be a shame to the community of La Jolla if they allowed this sparkling little beach to be taken from the seals and turned to the purpose of public swimming, with so much shoreline in and about La Jolla not to mention the swimming pools and park lands is it sincerely too much to ask that they relinquish this small section of natural habitat to the legitimate use of one of nature's most persevering and one of man's gentlest neighbors. I've observed seals in zoos, swimming with Mayor Schaefer in the pool at the Baltimore Aquarium and now in nature on their own beach, unmolested and seemingly at peace, there is no just comparison, any being in its own free space is a wonder to behold.
