We spent a few hours at Huntington Beach, which has just been reopened after the oil spill. As always, we were transfixed by the surfing action, and I especially enjoyed watching the girls as they rode the waves.
Surfer Girl
Sunset Surfing
We are hoping to travel to California in the next month. Our son and wife will both have their second shots, my photography group will be finishing up the semester, and the beaches beckon! It’s been a long year without family, friends, and travel . . .
This image is from one of our trips three years ago.
Patience
Another thing about the beach- there are surfers! There is a lot of patience involved in surfing , I’ve discovered on my beach walks; there is more waiting than actual surfing. But then the right wave comes, it’s magic!
Surfer 2
I think these will be my last surfing photos- but no promises!
Surf’s Up!
It was so much fun to stand on the pier taking photos of the surfers at July’s championship competition at Huntington Beach! Oh how I wished for a longer lens (these are cropped). . .
