Waves and Birds –Pelicans In Flight

Photograph of three pelicans flying in front of a large wave at Asilomar, CaliforniaGroupings 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

Photograph of a group of birds watching a large wave at Asilomar, California

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

Photograph of a sea gull in front of a large wave at Asilomar, California

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.

Rainbows — Pastel Colors

Photograph of a rainbow over the ocean at Pacific Grove, CaliforniaJust a beautiful moment over the ocean. Until I looked at this shot later, I didn’t realize the colors of the rainbow were an overlay on the water itself. I had imagined the rainbow was cut off at the horizon.
