Februarys stormy ocean

This beach has drastically changed this last couple of weeks. Santa Rosa creek has been flowing strongly to the ocean, carving different paths due to the rain and tides. The driftwood has been carried down and collecting on the beach. Bixby has been enjoying time exploring.

 The powerful ocean has carved a shelf.

 And exposed small rocks in its layers

 The waves are big and a muddy brown

 Where the river meets the ocean is in turmoil

 The rocks are different when they have come down the river

 The big stick we had to leave behind

 Bixby caught running..and he takes a picture

The sea gulls are fun to watch. 

They fly up the river and then float down.

I think they are playing but Mike thinks that they

are bathing in the fresh water.
