Sara Bogard photographed a very contented-looking juvenile Harbor Seal with his/her mother looking on.

Life is good when you can relax on a rocky shelf in the ocean with your mother keeping you safe!

Thanks to Sara for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

We are  having a lovely autumn day, with fog on the immediate coast but sunshine just a little bit away. We are hoping for some rain over the weekend - that would be a wonderful gift.
