I love cloudy and uncrowded winter beaches–it makes for great photo opportunities, and the wildlife is very active. I was able to get out to Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point, California, this weekend and am sharing these photos for Hammad’s Weekend Sky #54, Jez’s Water Water Everywhere #112 (WWE), and John’s Cellpic Sunday. Thanks to Hammad, Jez, and John for hosting these photo challenges, and happy birthday to Hammad!

Hope everyone had a peaceful weekend. I will be sharing more photos of the tide pools soon!
I am an avid nature and ecology lover and enjoy sharing my photography in my blog writings. I will often be out early in the morning or late in the evening with my camera, trying to capture the peacefulness and beauty around me.
