Cayucos Beach Driftwood In January

After a week of repeated storms, the driftwood pile up on Cayucos beach is pretty impressive.
December Big Waves
Image
A storm churning out in the Pacific Ocean sent huge waves into the California coast. Here on the Central Coast, the breakwater protecting the entrance to Morro Bay was an excellent place to watch the ocean swells landing hard.
You feel a rumbling sound that surrounds you. When the wave hits you can feel the ground shake. The foghorn blowing in the background really completes the maritime touch.
The swells were running 17-19 feet at the breakwater. The occasional wave a bit bigger than the rest drives some of the braver souls backward.
Quite a show mother nature is capable of putting on.
Elephant Seal Rookery, San Simeon CA

With a bellow that freezes the entire beach, this guy comes ashore. It’s a sound that demands respect, and raises the apprehension level a notch. There’s no doubt as to who the alpha is around here.

Caught Without My Camera – Drat!
Following a dinner of Red Snapper at the Sea Shanty in Cayucos California, walking along the beach afterward the sky decided to do this. And of course, catch me without my trusty Nikon. So what can a guy do but grab his smartphone, shoot away, and hope for the best.
These pacific sunsets are in danger of becoming habit forming.
