Our plan today was to hang out on the beach and spot exciting aquatic life. Hanging out on a beach is fabulous in and of itself, fortunately, so we weren't really disappointed when no gray whales or harbor seals appeared. And we made our own fun.
Chorro had a great time playing King of the Castle. Did he think being higher would make him the boss of me? I know that he dreams about sitting in that RV driver's seat!

We found this little stream, runoff from some of the snow we've been seeing on mountaintops, heading lickety-split for the ocean. Chorro was willing to cross this one, so we walked up the beach looking for adventure.
Instead, we met some charming rock people. Those of you who have been with us all year might remember the root people we encountered in Louisiana. Rock people are quite different, not at all shy, but rather quiet in their own way. They are observant and slow to speak, but can offer great wisdom to those willing to patiently listen.
These two were comfortable with us approaching them and sitting at their feet. The problem for me was that they both had their feet in the water, not a comfortable seat.
Here we saw a group of rock children enjoying themselves in the splash and spray of the waves.
And look at this incredible Grandpa watching over them as they played! I noticed that he attracted seagulls. I wondered if they understood each other's language.
I felt challenged to get in synch with the seagulls overhead. It was a matter of not snapping the shutter too early
or too late
but like Goldilocks and the Three Bears finding the "just right" option.

Later, we came back to the sunset vista we took pictures from yesterday. Each sunset has its own beauty. Tonight's had softer colors, more violet and yellow.
And tomorrow is a new day.

Excellent beach photos sis!
Don't forget to watch for the green flash!
Loved catching up with your travels, now that you and your wandering companion are along the coast, I look forward to many many more fantastic ocean pictures--does my soul good to just look at the beach and waves--too bad you couldn't add the sounds & smells :0
So, did you by chance meet any seagulls who knew Johnathan Livingston?
Dene has a good point....
Does your camera do movies? I know mine does, but I don't remember if it had sound on them or not. I think you can upload movies, similar to pictures, or if nothing else put them on youtube and then link to them here.
It would be a lot of fun to see and here the waves crashing, and the birds flying... and you wouldn't need to hone your sense of timing so well either.
