December 30 Beach

It’s “cold” in NorCal (45 degrees) on Dec. 30. But pretty nice.

Art!Art!Art!

. . . is what a seal says. We disturbed this guy’s year-end sunbathing (and molting) on Indian Beach this morning, Dec. 30, 2012. I'm not fluent in seal, but he wasn’t talking about any stinkin’ “art,” I know that much.
