The Sleeping Lady and the Sunning Seals

I caught a shot of this fellow and his mates as they lolled on a sunny Sausalito, California dock in Richardson Bay, one of the fingers of San Francisco Bay. The straight-on view of Mount Tamalpais says "home" to me. Her name means "Sleeping Lady" to the indigenous people of the area, the Miwoks. There is a serenity to her, as those of us who have walked her peaks have discovered.
