Cimru and Cub

Cimru is awash with John Butler's wonderful paintings. The colors are blues and greens, with some pink in the skies. One can easily imagine the seals'life at sea. First the cub is battered about in a storm, then after she recovers the next day she is threatened by whales. There is real terror as the whales swarm around the seals' rock. For now, however, they are safe and so their lives go on.
