Sea Breeze

We had severe Santa Ana cold winds, in the end of October. When I arrived at the pier the wind was blowing so hard. The tide was high, but I found a spot on the beach to set up and watch the beauty of nature surrounding me. I had the beach almost all to myself!

  I heard someone on BP the other day say they really -HATE- the word AWESOME...but sometimes there just aren't many other words that describe an image so well. There are so many talented people on BP that I happen to use it A LOT and I will again now.

AWESOME.

This image is truly magical. Rich. Romantic. Peaceful. Filled with tranquil beauty.

From the swell of the water pool for as far as the eye can see.

So sorry you froze your fingers off to get this one but very glad you did!

My applause to you, Donna. So happy I stopped in!!!

  This one is stunning, Donna. I am so happy you braved the cold wind for this beauty. I have a thing for reflections and the dark sky really make them pop.
