Beached

 

Scooting Sanderlings

A sanderling steps up to the (dinner) plate.


Preparing to nab an unsuspecting mole crab.


Probing Reflections


A few surf scoters suddenly appeared close to shore and gave me a chance to fire off a few frames before they headed back out to deeper water.


It sorta looks like the scoter caught something, but it might just be a beakful of sand.


The sea foam was more colorful out of focus.


River of Clouds


This little rowboat looks like something you'd rent at Blue Heron Lake in Golden Gate Park. But hopefully you'd get one in better shape.


Good ole Mt. Tamalpais
(It took a while for the clouds to lift off its peak.)


Ocean Beach on a Sunny Sunday Afternoon (2/25/24)


Once a month my wife comes down to the beach to do an hour of clean-up of mostly little bits of plastic and short lengths of rope. It adds up to a surprisingly heavy load.


This old man and the sea
is probably younger than me.

Raven Shadow


The crude oil tanker Sapphira heads out to sea, with Mt. Tam in the distance. I only noticed later that a pair of boogie-boarders was having a kiss before paddling out.
