The wild surf calls more then just surfers, there are still swimmers, string bikini gals, and families that brave the 58 degree waters, You should swim near a lifeguard station if waves are up as you will encounter those dangerous riptides too. Most ocean dwellers just wander up to their thighs or waist during the winter unless they dress in a wetsuit. Still its nice to see sunlovers in the winter months too in southern California.

Having fun at sunset out at Ocean Beach in San Diego. The north side of the beach is dedicated to pet owners. There is even a pet friendly motel right next to this area so you can bring your dog from out of town and go for a morning, afternoon, and evening romp at the beach.

Strong suf is usaully best during the winter months in southern California when the artic storms send rain they usually also turn our 2 and 3 foot waves into five, seven and sometimes a wild and wolly ten. Its always fun to hang out with the telephoto lens and watch the action. You have to be patient and lucky just like the surfers to get a good shot.

Not a photoshop those are the glass panels of a downtown skycraper. I had a fantastic view of downtown Minneapolis from one of the higher viewpoints. It was about ten degrees the day I took this one .Love the impressionistic feeling. I cant name the glass building that is reflecting. Blessings

"Winter is a time to be still, time to watch the snow on the hill, in these quiet day and crisp cold nights, see your breath, hear the wind, feel the chill."
Those one lines from my song about the seasons. I went out to film some crows that didn't come so I caught the last rays of the sun. Even some San Diego trees take time off to shed there leaves which give nutriets to the soil and allow space for those new spring shoots in a few months. Each season has its own poetry.
