Description
One of my favorite places down here is the Santa Ana River Jetty. The poor river has been tamed, caged, cemented, and controlled as much as it can be. But here, it finally gets to let loose as it flows into the ocean. This gull and I shared the view for a while, till he flew off for other business. I just sat there, letting the sparkle of the water and the breeze tickle my senses. Something happens to me when I get here, and I just let the feeling take me over.
Oh, this is also a great surfing spot, though the waves today weren't all that good. Doesn't matter, there are always surfers doing what they love best.

Well done..this really made me smile. The title is so well chosen... ;)
I think he's waiting for a fish to surf by... Aloha
Carefree...No need to worry if blind people hallucinate or the deaf hear voices. Can epileptics respond to emergencies when hysteria seizes them?
Wonderful capture..
I knew we'd make it to the beach soon....perfect title for it....I can almost smell the salty air, gawd how I miss southern California....
It almost looks like he's tapping his toes....great shot!
What a perfect day for it! The sparkle on the water is quite beguiling.
they are great watchers......
Fabulous shot and I just adore the gull. His watchful eye is appreciated. :-)
I wish I was there with you Marilyn, just sitting and watching the diamonds sparkle in the waves, and that water does look so inviting. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!
Very nice Marilyn!!!
The things they see :) Wonderful.
Having a good time in the Southland, eh, Marilyn? Stellar focus and contrast in this sunny surf shot!
This capture is a beauty, Marilyn. The clarity and detail is awesome.
brilliant...
GREAT SHOT. I MISS THE WATER AND THE BEACH. I MOVER TO LAS VEGAS AND THERE IS NO WATER AL ALL. IT RAINS A FEW TIMES A YEAR THAT IT IS A SPECIAL DAY TO ME WHEN IT DOES. I EVEN MISS THOSE PESKY SEA GULLS THAT USED TO BOTHER ME SO MUCH. THANKS FOR JOGGING MY MEMORY.
oops a typo...lol... so again: I am happy for you enjoying your time so much... and I really like the idea to just sit and watch by the water... a fine shot
