Obviously, I'm wishing I was still by the sea with that cool and refreshing sea air blowing in my face. That has to be why I was drawn to posting some photos from southern California today. I took long walks either on the beach or on the higher paths above the beach where I could look down on the waves meeting the rocks.
Or, I could telephoto over to a rocky outcropping where the jet black cormorants have taken up residence. You can tell from the color of those rocks that they have pretty much made this their home for a very long time.
From the beach, I had fun watching the sand pipers running in and out of the water and carefully picking tiny bits up from the sand.
When I wasn't chasing the birds, I was watching as the waves crashed against the various rocky places making huge, foamy splashes.
When I saw sailboats on the horizon, I would try to get a good telephoto shot. They always tend to be a bit fuzzy from taking them hand-held, but I take them anyway.
I also tend to get far away from the maddening crowds, especially on Saturday or Sunday when the beach seems to explode with humanity all crowded together in one spot.

All the joys of California beaches.

Wonderful series of images - especially the birds!
I love the beach. Any beach. We haven't been to one in years, though. Great pictures of the sandpipers.
