“Last week as I was going by one of the "Seal Rocks" in the Sheepscot River, I witnessed one of the sweetest things I have ever seen between a mother and baby Harbor seal. The young seal seemed apprehensive to join its mother in the water, and once it did it rode on the mother's back. I was so fortunate to not only see it, but to capture it with my camera as well.” Stephanie Morrison photo
