Allen Vinson noticed these two Harbor Seals sharing a moment while perched on a rock off of The Sea Ranch. If only we knew what they were "saying."
Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Anne Mary Schaeffer was at Manchester Beach when she spotted a half-dozen Bottlenose Dolphins.
Bottlenose Dolphins, also called Bottle-nosed Dolphins or Gray Dolphins, are extremely intelligent. They seem to be fascinated with humans. They can grow to thirteen feet in length.
Here are a couple of photos of these dolphins, taken by Allen Vinson off of Walk-on Beach on The Sea Ranch.
Here these dolphins are surfing a wave.
Thanks to Anne Mary and Allen for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
...and a million miles from Silicon Valley. That is what Maureen Simons titled her photo.
Do you think she yearns to return to the Mendonoma Coast? Yes!
The heat wave has been banished by billows of lovely fog. From 94 degrees on Sunday, we are 64 degrees today. Hooray for Mother Nature's air conditioning system.
Thanks to Maureen for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
