Thank you Hayward! Indeed it is!! I've been going a little further with the contrast than usual, I like it too, thank you for the encouragement!

Thank you! What a find! An entire tree on the beach getting wonderfully weathered - beautiful! That shot is actually what's left of the root system!

I love the ocean as well and have moved a few hours away from it for the first time in many years, this was a VERY happy day to visit it again! The first shot was exciting to take as well..I had found the mussells "posing" in the sand just so and thought they'd make a lovely shot, but wondered if I could also get some foam in the frame...so several waves later with finger on trigger and the anticipation of a good old fashioned soaking I got this wave creeping in and managed to leap to dryer ground! Not sure now if I like it more for the photo..or how I got it!
