Cali2010: Sea Stuff

About half way through our trip, we bid farewell to the San Francisco / Alameda area and headed south. We spent the day alternating between driving and eating and shopping (Why, hello there LEGO store…and how you doing outlet shoppes?) but none of that was really terribly interesting photographically. So, for today, I offer up some photos I took during the rest of the trip, whilst beach combing on various days in Seaside, CA. Can you tell how much I adore the ocean, giant graveyard though it’s beaches may be? 😉

The colourful exoskeleton of a typical gull’s lunch.

Wet sand on dry, reminds me of inkblots. What do you see?

Exploring the freedom of the not-so-clear blue sky.

So this is seafoam, huh?

Poor solitary jelly.

Juxtaposition.

Another crab carapace.

One of the gorgeous holey rocks I found.

And yet another, peeking at the ocean.

I loved watching the pelicans diving for food and flying.

Feathers everywhere.

Most beautifully coloured seaweed.

Death is always close at hand. I won’t make you look at the seal.

The iridescence is so beautiful.

Such luscious greens.

The first bleached bone I’ve ever found.

And last but not least, a heart for my sister.
