Me and the Ocean

It just seems to be my go-to place, the ocean, which is one of the biggest reasons I love living where I do. Ever since I was a wee one, the beach was pretty much my favorite place to be.  I spent most of my Summers as a teen on the beach, and find that I could never live too far away from it.   In my 366 day project on flickr, I've had four days of the ocean.  Out of nine, that's a lot!  Here's one of my faves from Windansea, La Jolla.   I love using my 10-20mm lens here because there's so much to see in the rocks under your feet, as well as way out where the god rays burst through the clouds on the ocean.

Forever

I have been running over to the beach every afternoon for the past few days trying to catch a sunset like this.  This kind that happens when the sky is just flirting with a storm but then suddenly the sun decides to steal the show by breaking through.   The colors are always amazing and no bad photo can be taken.     Well, the sun hasn't popped out these days... not at the ocean, anyway, so once again I went to the archives and voila!  I found what I was looking for.  Only now I see a purple heart in the sky and wonder how I missed it before...
