When I arrived at the beach, the sky was filled with smoke from the local fires. The surf was up and the water was very refreshing! We were all trying to escape the heat wave!

The beauty of this one was so evident even before I pulled up the big picture. The colors are incredibly gorgeous, the waves of the water so beautiful. Love the composition and the beautiful work of the pier as it extends out into the water. So pretty my friend. #9221760Cathy M. Britcliffe February 09, 2011
