Michael and I were hiking at Kaena Point State Park, Oahu, Hawaii when we encountered this beautiful babyseal. Really slowly I went closer and closer till the point where I was just resting next to him. He was totally at ease and allowed me to stay for a little bit, it was one of my most memorable moments of this year for sure.

The original picture has a bunch of plastic laying around but this is how it should have been, unharmed and immaculate (both are included in the Calendar)

By buying this Calendar you will save the Ocean a little bit. A fair amount goes to Mission Blue, an initiative of the Sylvia Earle Alliance (S.E.A.) to ignite public support for the protection of Hope Spots—special places that are vital to the health of the ocean, the blue heart of our planet.
