The California coast is not just for the birds. With a little exploration of the coastal rock formations and tidepools, the amount of life is quickly apparent. The beautiful colors of the starfish and crabs keep your attention until you see a group of seals or other aquatic mammals in the water or lounging on the rocks.
This is a series of a Harbor Seal yawning:

It looks like he is smiling for the camera, doesn't it?
Again in mid-yawn.
In addition to the Nutty Birder Blog, I now have a new photoblog that provides an explanation of how I took many of my photos. Visit that blog at: http://ripmaphotography.blogspot.com/

I could watch Harbor Seals and Sea Otters for hours ... seriously!
Hugs and blessings,
Nice yawns, now for your next assignment, a series of seals grinning....the most contented expression on any living creature I have seen was of a smiling seal in Antarctica, it was the epitome of sheer bliss.
Oh, what a character your harbor seal is! Looks like he's acting for us.
Great shots. I used to like to drive up the coast and see the sea lions.
opps! looks sleepy I think he need rest...
Somehow it had never occurred to me that they would have teeth...
But they are cute! I like the plovers in the next post, too! It is amazing that you were close enough to capture the banding on the bird, so it can be identified!
Cute indeed! He really does look like he's looking right at the camera in that second one.
Really good shots!
