Is there anything more peaceful than a water view?
Remembering our quick trip to Southern California last May…

Not my usual Beach Lady photography- but it was a photo that just asked to be taken.

I never get tired of ocean views at sunset!

I can remember my first visit to the ocean as a young child- and how my mother taught me to always keep my eyes on the waves (for safety reasons). And now in my elder years I treasure our visits to the ocean, and my eyes are always drawn to the ever-changing yet constant waves as they rush toward shore. At sunset the light turns golden as the sun bids farewell to another day- a soothing presence in these times.

We spent a few days in Southern California a week ago, including 3 days visiting beaches in the area. I told myself I have photographed too much surfing, which has produced hundreds of shots that will never see the light of day. But…the golden light at sunset at San Clemente proved irresistible, especially for slow shutter/ICM images.

Just a random everyday scene at the beach. . .

Serene beach day from a little over a year ago.

Thinking today about our upcoming trip to Alaska and remembering our 50th anniversary trip 3 years ago. . .

Dog + beach- perfect combination!

Just a typical day at Newport Beach…

Happy New Year!

I took so many multiple exposure shots while at Newport Beach! Here’s another- the pier.
