Combining styles

This gentleman with a foiled SUP had the water off Oceano Dunes all to himself.

That couple

There's always that one couple fighting tooth and nail while everyone around pretends not to notice. This time it's elephant seals causing drama at San Simeon.

Point Buchon erosion

Another shot of the unique erosion of the rocks at Point Buchon at the Montana de Oro State Park.

Natural Bridge

Actually I have no idea how long lived the phenomenom will be, or how much weight it could support. Just an interesting pattern of erosion at Point Bichon at the southern edge of the Montana de Oro State Park.

Surveying the options

Trying til the end

Out of the water, but not at the finish line yet.

First to finish

I'll update this if I get a name, but she was first to finish with time to spare.

Getting the feet wet

The look of pain as the racers/applicants hit the 56-degree water.

The start

About one-half of the applicants starting the swim race.

After The Storm

Oceanside Pier after the record-breaking storm of February 2019. Went hoping for a dramatic sunset, but quite happy with this.

Morning reflection

Some fortunate lighting at Del Mar.

Fortunate mistake

While shooting I thought this was an error doomed for deletion, having left the camera set for an exposure of 1/30, but once I saw it in processing the stillness of the board with the fluidity of the water just grabbed me and I love the result.

Sunrise lighting

Good early morning light from (and of) the Children's Pool sea wall.

Not too close

Trying to find that perfect middle ground for good early morning shot without getting the camera gear drenched. This shot was almost there.

October Sunset

Went out hoping for a good sunset with some dramatic clouds courtesy of Hurricane Rosa. It wasn't everything I hoped for, but I still got a few good shots in.
