I walked out of my gallery in Penny Lane, Sean Kelley Photography, on the afternoon of April 10 to get some fresh air and stopped by T-Shirt World on Rehoboth Avenue to say hello to my friends Andrea and Tony.
After our initial greeting, Tony immediately asked, “Have you seen the seal?” I replied, “What seal?” His eyes got big and he explained there was a big seal, right out front on the main beach, “Go get your camera!” So I ran out to the main beach to a full-on crowd of about 400 people. I couldn’t believe it. I had never seen a seal on Rehoboth Beach ever. Let alone a seal with so much personality. He was flirting with the crowd, rolling over, propping himself up on one side a la Burt Reynolds’ centerfold pose – what a ham! Every little movement he made was greeted with an ooh and aah from the crowd. Little kids, teens, grandparents were all getting a kick out of the seal’s antics; it was like the zoo had come to Rehoboth Beach.
