This fog lasted only a few minutes before the sun broke through and promptly evaporated it.

reluctant spring
The weather so far this spring has been, shall we say, temperamental. I’m sure things will get warm and sunny very soon, but in the meantime here’s a shot from a very moody morning at the beach.
sea fever
I must down go to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. ~ John Masefield, Sea Fever
water painting (2 images)
Yesterday morning I enjoyed a beautifully mild, breezy wander at the beach. I decided to try experimenting with my 6-stop ND filter and different shutter speeds to see what effect it would have on the appearance of the water. By changing my lens’s aperture, I ended up with a 1.3 second exposure for the top photo, and a .6 second exposure for the bottom. Do you have a preference?
clipper ship
A peaceful, misty morning looking out over Swanson Channel. I like to imagine that boat in the background is a pirate’s clipper ship. After all, this island was a hotbed of smuggling activity during Prohibition days…

rock solid
There is something reassuringly solid about this landscape. The rocky shore endures the battering of the waves, the rise and fall of the tide, winter freezes and summer’s baking sun. It seems as though the only thing this beach wouldn’t be able to withstand is a rise in ocean levels, which may eventually drown it, and what a shame that would be. For now, though, it is holding its own.
Ancia beach
I made a quick trip down to the beach this morning, exploring the interesting rock formations and the way they interacted with the surf. I would have stayed longer but my camera battery died — there is so much more to discover here.
