Wind vs wave

Yesterday we took another three hour (six round trip) drive in search of a snowy owl along the New Jersey shoreline in Island Beach State Park. The wind was WILD, gusting up to fifty MPH, and stinging our faces with weaponized sand! We did see one of the two owls, but only managed a couple shots. The owls were exhibiting better judgment than we.. they remained mostly out of sight between the sand dunes and out of the wind. As is often the case, when one photo op closes another opens, and we were rewarded for our foolish tenacity with the magic that results when strong wind disperses the crests of incoming waves and rainbows appear in the spray.
