A Harbor Seal perched on a rock as photographed by Robert Scarola

Robert Scarola couldn't believe what he was seeing - a Harbor Seal precariously perched on a rock, apparently asleep. Those must be sweet dreams as the Harbor Seal looks so happy.

Thanks to Robert for allowing me to share this smile-inducing photo with you here.

Harbor Seals will be giving birth to pups in April. Here's a link to see a mom and her pup by Craig Tooley :http://mendonomasightings.blogspot.com/2011/07/sweet-photo-of-harbor-seal-pup-with-its.html

And to see a spectacular photo of Harbor Seals crowned by kelp, here's the link to Siegfried Matull's photo: http://mendonomasightings.blogspot.com/2011/08/photo-of-harbor-seals-crowned-with-kelp.html
