stonecrop?

I think this flower, which grows right on the rock, is a stonecrop (according to a picture in a book). Isn't it interesting?

 

The light had been real bright on them, so I tried to add some shadows with Picasa, which helped a little.

 

When I got done taking these pics, I put my camera back in the little zipper bag and came around a big rock to the beach. Was that a dachshund on the beach, I wondered, puzzled for a second.

 

NO! It was a little brown seal making its way to the water!

 

Of course, by the time I got the camera out and turned on, it had disappeared into the foam in the surf. But at least I got to see it!
