I'm not sure yet what these particular cloud formations are called but one can get very dizzy watching them move in waves....this was taken 12 hours before that squall line passed through.

It's been a mixed bag of weather for me in my 5 weeks here. Today gales, lashing rain but it all made for fantastic waves hitting Portreath harbour wall! Pretty spectacular! I've loved every minute of being back in Cornwall with my babies but now I'm all packed and will be leaving for Heathrow in a few hours to start my 22 hour journey back to Albuquerque, NM.

Eu amo Portugal

This is a typical scene from the South Jetty in Venice Florida. People showing up to watch the sun go down is a Florida pastime. It's a natural thing to do especially if you come visit from somewhere else. Most people in Florida are from somewhere else, even if they live here. Florida is one of those places where people are migrating to.

As for myself, I was born and raised in California. It used to be that everyone relocated to California from somewhere else. I was born there and relocated in the other direction. But California is a beautiful state to visit, I love going back and as a photographer I see so much more than I did growing up.

Other than the sound of the waves and the sunsets there is not much resemblance between California and Florida, they both have their own unique beauty. But waves and sunsets are a good thing to have in common.

This is not a great photo, but it helps to convey the mighty heights the waves reached this winter.

Welly debut at Cocklawburn this morning - I can see that the combo of the 10-20 and wellies could easily become a dangerous one! Thanks to Jonathan for the msg "the sky is shaping up" which threw me out of bed and into jeans, jacket n wellies!

Bad Storm the night before but the wind was making the sea really something special

This is Tor Bay, NS. We went here for a lunch by the sea one day. It was really hot and breezeless inland, but the breeze at the ocean was great. For this perspective, I was standing on a similar rock to the one pictured. It ran parallel to the one you see, allowing me to get in behind the breaking waves, but safely.

Fractal waves

These shots are from various trips to my inlaws in Sonoma County,CA

Surfer's take-off attempt on unpredictable wave succeeds

Taken from the shore on a 50D w/70-300 zoom

I could watch the surf for hours and hours. Change is part of the experience.

I'm not sure what the underwater structure is here, but it both causes the waves to break, and a circular flow pattern emerges. Beautiful!
