    After catching sunrise at Don Armeni, we often slide down to Constellation Park and see what Mt. Rainier might be doing. Saw this thing in the water that could NOT be a decoy. So, I had to go and get my long lens. I was impressed when I saw whiskers.
    A pleasant man named Dan strode by, and mentioned that perhaps it was a display of Seal Yoga. It seemed as if it was perched on a rock, people watching. Paddle boarders came sort of close, and the creature remained serene.

Sorry, comment time is over.
