The weather was calling for rain all day so I came mega prepared - only to sit there barely touched by precipitation. (not complaining) BUT - I wanted to give my new sweet umbrella a try! First umbrella since living out west... only took a decade... but now my camera won't get soaked and I can actually shoot in the rain comfortably. Nice!

Wow... it's been that long since I've posted here?? What a crazy year it's been.
I feel like I haven't been to this beach since the spring time. Mostly because the forecast was always poo, but also to avoid the hundreds of thousands of idiots who now come here every single weekend. 
Today was nice though. We showed up somewhere in the 8 o'clock hour - the tide was low, the air was still, and a lot of the beach peeps were still asleep in their tents. Not a shabby way to spend a sleepy Sunday morning when the waves are finally coming back.
