This is one of my favorite photos, although it may have been taken earlier than 2013 - I don't remember the date. But what I do remember, very vividly, are the circumstances.
I was driving to work one morning, when I observed an unusual flocking of sea birds on the beach. On impulse, I pulled onto the shoulder of Pacific Coast Highway, parked, and took my camera down to the sand.
There were sea-birds everywhere! Pelicans and gulls, all kinds of birds. I was not the only person who stopped to watch. We all shared our wonder at the beauty of so many birds.
As I walked back to the place where I'd parked my car, I took a series of photos toward the sand and the water, and while I snapped away, this woman walked into my frame, going the same direction. I don't know her name, but I do love this photo as she turns to watch the birds and the sky.
As I read this morning about the cold gripping the rest of the country, I am reminded how lucky I am to be in a place where birds fly to winter.

I remember that picture! It's very nice.
P.S. It's going down to 0 degrees here, and we've got woodpeckers (and such as) all over the place.

Carmi has a 2nd favorites post up.
You might try putting the link there, not many see it after the week has gone by.

Glad you put the link in as I would not have liked to miss this shot. That's a beach I'd like to visit. I could watch birds for hours.
I'm with Bob there! I could look at birds for hours too. Would love to visit that beach as well. And it looks a lot warmer than it is here!
