Outdoor Wednesday ~ Father & Daughter

My Outdoor photos this week were all taken on an early morning walk at Emma Wood State Beach when our daughter Katie was spending a week with us.

 

Katie is a lot like her father. She and he tend to think the same way. It’s always fun to see them interact with each other.

 

 

 

 

Doesn’t the vegetation at the beach look so alive in the Spring!

 

 

This evening or tomorrow for more Outdoor Wednesday posts please visit our hostess Susan at A Southern Daydreamer.

Photobucket is holding all my photos I stored with them from 2007-2015 hostage unless I pay them a lot of money. I’m slowly cleaning up many posts from this time period and deleting their ugly grey and black boxes with a ransom request. Such a time consuming bother.

Blue Monday ~

This is a blue life guard tower at Emma Wood State Beach or a Million Dollar Beach front piece of property (Dear added that…hee, hee). Lots of blue in the background, too.  Happy Blue Monday everyone!

To see more blue visit Smiling Sally here.

Three or More Tuesday!

 

My Three or more Tuesday this week is from our early morning walk at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura on Valentine’s Day. Four Godwits on the sand digging with their long beaks to find some goodies to eat. Hey look there are 3 or more rocks and 3 or more waves, too.

For more Three or More visit Tam at The Gypsy’s Corner.

Low Tide at Emma Wood ~ Birds and Shells

 

Dear and I started our walk at Emma Wood this morning well before 7:00 am. I love the colors that the early morning light reflect on the sand and water.

 

There were many sea birds enjoying breakfast from diving in the water and digging in the sand.

 

I was pleasantly surprised to capture this pelican and the head of this seal who bobbed up just at the moment I took the shot. Not a clear close-up but it’s always a treat to see seals or dolphins come up out of the water…

 

The Godwits were abundant as were Sanderlings.

 

 

The tide was out far enough so that we could explore around the rocks and see Anemones and gather lots of great shells.

 

 

 

 

These are the shells we picked up this morning. Some of the clam shells are pismo clams. Dear found a razor clam shell and a barnacle, too.

 

I really like the different shapes and colors on all of these shells we picked up…

Tagged!

Bernideen from Bernideen’s Tea Time Blog  tagged me for a photo meme. I’m suppose to go to my 6th folder and post the 6th photo from it. The photo was taken at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura, California. Dear and I walk there most Saturday mornings.

 

This walk was on January 17th. Every few minutes we’d see pelicans flying by in these great rows and very close to the water. I have lots of pelican shots from this Saturday morning…

Thanks Bernideen.

Now here are the rules that came with the tag…

1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go the 6th Folder, then pick the 6th picture in that folder.
3. Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture.
4. Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.

If y’all know me I’m generally a tag rebel and leave it up to you when you want to play along. If you do play let me know so I can come see your photo.

Three or More Thursday!

Three or More Thursday is hosted by Tam at  the Gypsy’s Corner.

 

My three or more are all about Seabirds this week. Dear and I spent a lot of time at 4 different beaches on the South and Central coast of California this past weekend. These pelican and Godwit photos are from our early morning walk at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura, California on Saturday morning.

To see more posts of Three or More visit Tam at the Gypsy’s Corner.

ABC’s of the Word ~ The Winds and the Waves…

 

This weekend we experienced the power of the winds and the waves. The power of both were amazing. The truth that God created both and has the power to subdue them is amazing…

For more ABC’s of the word visit Pam at Grey Like Snuffie…

High Tide at Emma Wood State Beach!

Dear and I returned to our favorite Saturday walk last weekend and we were in for a fun surprise. The Tide was so high that there was no sand to be seen. The waves were so powerful we heard the large rocks and bolders moving and hitting each other when the waves receded. We had to watch our steps so that we didn’t get sprayed by the waves that hit the beach walls and rocks.

 

We were experiencing Santana winds again over the weekend so the wind really whipped out and caused some spray off the waves.

 

Then when a wave would recede and hit the next wave coming in we got a big treat with an explosion of spray!

 

It was difficult to snap at the right time to make sure I captured the great spray.

 

 

 

Yippee I got this one without getting soaked!

 

The birds were patiently waiting for the tide to go out so they could dig for their food in the sand…

Psalm 89: 8, 9 ~ “O Lord God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O Lord, and your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.”

Emma Wood Beach in November

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR PINK SATURDAY…

Dear and I headed up to Emma Wood State Beach early Saturday morning. It’s been several weeks since we’ve done our favorite walk and it was great to be back…

 

It was High Tide so we had very few steps directly on the sand.

 

 

The Fall/Winter birds were back in town. We saw lots of Godwits and Sanderlings. We saw so many Pelicans but they were all far from my camera and moving in formation across the water…

 

Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage and demanding a ransom for me to access them. I’m slowly cleaning up many of my posts where PB have added ugly black and grey boxes where my photos used to be. So frustrating!
