Charly was our first dog. She was Husky mixed with Golden Retriever (Goberian). Charly home from surgery - short one spleen.
I took a little road trip to Shell Beach which is appx 25 miles
south east of New Orleans proper. A hard hit fishing community.
There is a Hurricane Katrina memorial at the end of Yscloskey Hwy....
both on shore and in the water. It's also an area where fishermen take
their boats out to the giant Lake Borgne, it is along the Mississippi River
-Gulf Outlet (MRGO) which is an inlet the leads to the Gulf Of Mexico.

FEB 7, 2010 ~ Arched Rock Vista, looking northwest.

NOV 2011 ~ The Driftwood Shelter
It was set up with various driftwood amenities: a bench and a table with expansive ocean front views. I sat and contemplated for a few minutes.
Heermann's gull, Larus heermanni, Shell Beach, California. This beautiful gull is on the Audubon watchlist because of threats to the island off of Mexico where it breeds.
I grossly miscalculated both timing of our arrival and choice of lens. We were aiming for Pismo Beach, but the city was actually *full*. We ended up parking in the neighboring city a little north of Pismo and hiked to a spot that had a view of Pismo Pier. My 24-70mm didn't get me close enough (these are cropped). Ah well.
