Waves and Birds –Pelicans In Flight
Groupings of three often make for good composition. I wanted to capture the pelicans against the wave, but I didn’t see how many there were until I reviewed my images later.

Waves and Birds — Watching
These birds seem to be watching the crashing wave. I think they just happened to be looking in the same direction. I didn’t notice any other behavior that indicated they were aware of the unusually large waves.

Waves and Birds — Rock and Wave
This particular rock is farther offshore from the Asilomar beach and sometimes creates spectacular effects. Taken with an 80-400mm lens.

Waves and Birds — Crying Sea Gull
Although there have been few winter storms in California this year, occasionally high surf is generated by winds far out to sea. Several weeks ago I saw a high surf advisory and traveled to Asilomar beach, an area south of Pacific Grove, to try and capture some waves. There seemed to be as many interesting birds as waves, so I will post a few pictures over the next several days.

California Waves — Light Rays
The waves were not particularly large on this day at Asilomar, but I was struck by the light rays striking the ocean through an opening in the clouds. The phenomenon lasted about 5 minutes before the clouds closed together. Taken March, 26, 2011.

California Waves — Wave and Rocks
Another shot from Asilomar Beach from March, 2010. This was shot at 1/1600th of a second to freeze the action of the exploding wave.

California Waves — Asilomar
Asilomar State Beach is on the Monterey Peninsula in Pacific Grove, California. It is a strip of sandy beach and rocky coves. It is an especially good area to watch large waves crash over the rocks offshore. Taken in January, 2008.
