{018} I am having a long term love affair with this beach.

{018} I am having a long term love affair with this beach. by jen_maiser.
This is the beach out by Abbott's Lagoon in Point Reyes. The sand on the beach is perfection -- it's made of teeny tiny rocks that are gorgeous and that I can look at for days.

I've been coming here for years and years -- through many different parts of my life. And it has a magical ability to renew me. I'm lucky to have this spot, and I hope that someday I can be a little more eloquent about how much it means to me.

it's funny - I thought that was a little girl in a gray dress - funny how our mind invents things! Love the colors and textures. A nice winter beach day!

That is funny! I had a couple shots with the nosy bird out of it, but I finally decided it added interest. :) And thanks.

Dude, is this with your 50mm? The DOF and focal are, indeed amazing, as Anita and Jeanne have noted above. Brava.

Thanks re the DOF comments. It was shot with the 50. I found it really interesting that this is at f/8. I would have thought it had to be a much shorter DOF to get it there, but it was WAY too bright to shoot it wide open.
