A rainy morning turned into a partly cloudy, windy and cool afternoon. Huge surf and king tides combined to strip much of the sand off of this beach. Recorded 12-30-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

Still out of order, but it's New Years, so... Happy New Year 2023! Cheers! A wet end to 2022 and a soggy start to 2023. The noises you hear that sound like popcorn are rain drops hitting the plastic bag I put over the camera to keep it dry. Recorded 12-31-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton
