ALAMEDA, CA — Patch has received a second photo of a sea lion basking in the sun on Crwon Beach last Thursday. This picture was snapped by Nelida Ricardo who called the sighting unusual. Perhaps it was tired of fighting for space at Pier 39 in San Francisco and needed a beach day in Alameda!

Thank you for sharing your photo, Nelida.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
