Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is:
#GoldenSun; any bird in warm, golden sunshine
A semipalmated plover (or at least that's what Merlin told me) at Drake's Beach in Pt. Reyes.

The Tide Rushes In
Spooner Gulch, Montaña de Oro State Park.
The Kelvin Waves have pushed the water even higher onto the beach than normal, and the change in temperature has made food scarce for certain species. #photography #landscapephotography #beach #surf #tide #elnino

Sunset in Spooner's Cove, Montana de Oro SP, California. I've long tried to reserve a campsite here, and finally succeeded! The beauty of the place is everywhere from the striated pebbles on the beach to the extraordinary rock formations stretching into the water. #photography #landscapephotograph

Early morning on the California Delta at Brannan SVRA. The boat launched backward from the pier to the left, and in the process of turning around it gave me that great circular ripple in the foreground. I could not have staged it better. #photography #landscapephotography #sunrise #fishing #delta

Seals at Salt Point State Park. It was fascinating to watch them climb over each other to move around the rock, and climb up the mussel-encrusted rock to get out of the water. That seems painful. #photography #wildlifephotography #seals #saltpoint #castateparks

Sunset in Pt. Lobos, Big Sur, California.
This is an incredibly beautiful and complex landscape, made more complicated by the tide and the waves. One could spend a lifetime photographing it, but I have only a few hours. #photography #landscapephotography #bigsur
