The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

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.
During the week of storms, Scott had the good idea to go out to the beach and shoot the (expected) gigantic waves. Well the waves weren't that big, but we were there, with our cameras, what were we supposed to do? I had just borrowed Joel's 35mm f1.8, so I got to have some fun keeping the ISO low in the waning light.
Julie Hendrick from Cal Poly's Society of Women Engineers tests out the strength of a miniature bridge by stacking weights on it during a visit Steve Sharp's 4th grade class at Shell Beach Elementary School where the students were challenged to build a small bridge using toothpicks and gumdrops.

NOV 2011 ~ Ocean Savaged
Was fascinated by the bark being shredded and ripped off the driftwood logs. The log's nakedness almost seems sensual...evocative. It was surprisingly soft. Will post several other images of this once I have them done.
Another calm low tide this morning, but not nearly as many species of nudibranchs as yesterday at Montana de Oro.
We had started the day in Monterey and did the aquarium, then the slow coast road down. Decided to stop for the night in Pismo Beach. It was relatively quiet on a Sunday evening in October. Can't really do this kind of thing anymore now that Matthew has to get back to school on Mondays. But, you adapt.
