SNOOZING SEAL PUP

RESTING his weary head on his flipper, this little seal pup takes a much needed nap after an afternoon of strenuous yoga. Making the most of his break, he laps up the last beam of British sunshine as he lies comfortably on the sand. This adorable seal was captured by Welsh carpenter and joiner Geoffrey Baker, 58, after a trip to Donna Nook on the North East coast of England. 'I was lying flat on the sand with my camera photographing an adult seal when I noticed this pup settling down for a nap,' said Geoffrey.
