Deadwood, Shell Beach, Shark Bay, WA.

Her beak is hidden by a ridge of rock. She is warming several chicks here. The pink on the chick to the left is from a flower that I could not get out of the camera's field without falling off the cliff. Shell Beach, California

Surfers walk past a big-rig truck on the beach at the base of Silver Shoals Drive in Shell Beach after the truck's brakes failed causing it to coast down the street above before plummeting off the cliff. Nobody was hurt in the wreck.

While most people were out partying on New Year's Eve, I spent a quiet, delightful evening in Shell Beach watching the final sunset of 2011. I feel so blessed to live along the spectacular California Central Coast. This image was taken near the so-called "Three Palms Beach" during a wonderful winter minus tide. The tide pools reflected in the rocks were just gorgeous that last night of the year.

 

This image is comprised of a series of HDR bracketed exposures processed in Photomatix, Lightroom, Photoshop, and onOne Software. What a sweet ending to the year!

D&A of Flowbispo with DJ Katchafiya at the 5th Annual Alex BBQ Trailer Trash Party on Sunday, May 29th 2011 in Shell Beach, CA ~ "SPONSORS INCLUDE: Skate Warehouse, Volcom & Sham-Wow" | flowbispo.com/ | www.skatewarehouse.com/

Shrimp are the state’s most valuable fishery, and Louisiana continues to lead all states in shrimp landings. In 2011, approximately 5,900 licensed Louisiana commercial shrimpers landed 92 million pounds of shrimp (all species combined/heads-on weight) that had a dockside value of $130 million. www.wlf.louisiana.gov/news/36123

 

While six different species are landed in Louisiana, over ninety percent are White Shrimp and Brown Shrimp.

 

Market Name:White Shrimp

Scientific Name: Litopenaeus setiferus

Common Name (s):White Shrimp,Lake Shrimp, White Prawn

 

White shrimp have traditionally been considered the premium large shrimp of Louisiana. Fishermen usually receive slightly more for white shrimp than other shrimp.

 

White shrimp are slightly more tender than other shrimp and their shells are slightly softer and easier to peel than other shrimp. Also, large white shrimp do not develop the slight iodine taste that other large shrimp do.

 

Market Name:Brown Shrimp

Scientific Name: Peneaus aztecus

Common Name (s):Brazilian shrimp, Brown prawn

Brown shrimp provide the bulk of Louisiana’s huge production of small shrimp. Differences between brown shrimp and white shrimp, especially in the smaller sizes, are very slight. louisianaseafood.com/seafood-handbook/shrimp

Shell beach is made up of millions of tiny shells up to 10 metres deep and stretching for over 40 km.

Stuff I shot while sitting on a bench.

This is pretty much out of camera. Thought I should let that be known before anyone claims I made her look good. No.. she is this gorgeous in real life. I didn't mess with her body or change the shape with photoshop. I touched up a small bruise or two that she had and light edit but that's pretty much it. Gorgeous. it's rare when you meet someone that looks as good as her modeling photos.

This picture was taken at a place locally known as "the end of the earth." The literal Shell beach is consumed by the waters but the geographical name remains. It is the place chosen for the Memorial to Hurricane Katrina Victims from St Bernard Parish.

 

This Cormorant sunned itself on the posted and while I had other images of the Double-crested I took this one because of the closeness and the classic pose.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

The Double-crested Cormorant is found near rivers, lakes and along the coastline. It mainly eats fish and hunts by swimming and diving. Its feathers, like those of all cormorants, are not waterproof and it must spend time drying them out after spending time in the water. Once threatened by use of DDT, the numbers of this bird have increased markedly in recent years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-crested_Cormorant

 

The gangly Double-crested Cormorant is a prehistoric-looking, matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon, they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North America—perhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks, rocky islands, and channel markers, their wings spread out to dry. These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Double-crested_Cormorant/life...
