[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Hypno!

Wow, thank you!

From such a consommate professional as yourself, I am truly honored...

I like that one too, but my fav of the wave pics is #3...

I love how the light is shining through the top of the wave...

I had a ball at the beach today...can you tell?

:pals:

5. all ery nice, as usual. the third one ...

i love it. what is that in the water? :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear wildhorses...

Thanks, sweetie!

It's probably seaweed........

:hug:

[Lethe]

7. great pics!

i wish i was there! I miss the coast. The sights and sounds are so beautiful.

If I ever get a hold of a digital camera I will post some pics of the river where I live. It's spring-fed, crystal clear, and beautiful. (i saw a huge alligator snapping turtle the other day....his head was bigger than mine and it had moss all over its spiny shell!) We are lucky enough to have several endangered species that live only in the river and no where else, so it is protected by law.

8. My dear ikhor!

Thank you so much...

I had a ball taking them...

It was truly wonderful today...

Oh, please do take some pics of your river, and all the wonderful creatures you see there...

I would love to see such a thread...

11. My dear krispos42!

Those are very nice!

Is this your son?

What a cutie!

Thanks for sharing......did you like mine?

:hi:

[krispos42]

15. Why, yes, I did

I liked them so much it inspired me to dig up (literally) the cable for my camera, throw the pics on the PC, resize them, and post them!

The waves in Long Island Sound are not as impressive as the Pacific Coast, though.

And yes, that is my adorable little boy Sam studying the Sound and chasing seagulls there! :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Well, I'm glad you liked them...

And that I inspired all that activity!

Waves aren't the only things worth photographing, you know!

My kids are all grown up plus I don't see them very often...

They grow up waaaay too fast!

:hi:

[krispos42]

17. Easy to fix....

Just tell'em you want a herd of grandkids!

:-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Oh yeah!

My younger daughter has a five year old.......and one on the way...

But they're 50 miles away, and both she and her husband work full time...

It makes it difficult...

:shrug:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

10. These are very calming and soothing

I feel as though I'm on the ocean, even though I'm sitting here at 11:13 p.m. in Irving, Texas.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear DeposeTheBoyKing...

The power of pictures.....

It is amazing, isn't it?

I'm so glad you like these, and that they transport your mind to a calm place...

I always love to bring my friends any beauty that I come across...

:hug:

[fizzgig]

13. wonderful as always, peggy

the second one is my favorite :thumbsup:

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear kagehime!

Thank you, sweetie...

I love that one too, but my personal fav is #3...

That cresting wave is beautiful to me...and they're damn hard to catch just right too...



:hug:

[UrbScotty]

19. My dear CaliforniaPeggy!

You promised me pictures... and boy, did you deliver!

I see an entry or two in an upcoming monthly photo contest!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear ih8thegop!

I do like to keep my promises, you know...

Although none of these are sunset pics...

Still, the sun is in them!

I'll have to check out the Photo Forum...

Have they chosen a theme for next month?

Glad you like these, sweetie......it means a lot to me, you know...:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

20. Georgous, Peggy, especially the second one.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear SeattleGirl!

Thanks, sweetie!

Nice to see you tonight...

That second one seems to be the fav, so far...

:hug:

[huskerlaw]

23. Wow!

It really cleared off down there in the South Bay!

It was still really cloudy here in the Valley when the sun went down.

Though I did get to see a lovely rainbow!

Unfortunately, all I had with me was my camera phone and the pic didn't work. :(

I also saw a deer up on Mulholland this afternoon, I think she was taking advantage of the fresh water! :D

Thanks for the pictures...they're lovely!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear huskerlaw!

Oh, thanks, sweetie!

But you saw a deer and a rainbow?

Oh, I would have positively killed for such sights!

Glad you liked these...I had a really good time getting them!

:hug:

[huskerlaw]

25. Indeed.

I saw the deer at about 1:30 and the rainbow at about 6:00.

First time sightings for both of those since I moved here!

The deer was eating leaves right on the side of the road, seemed wholly unconcerned with the cars going past. I have a feeling she's used to them.

The funny thing was, I'm so used to seeing them in Nebraska that I was like "Ooh! A deer!" and then about 30 seconds later..."A DEER?! WTF?!" ;)

The rainbow was actually REALLY bright, just as the sun was starting to go down. I was at the CostCo in Van Nuys, and everyone in the parking lot was ooohing and awwwwing at it. :D

[Cabcere]

26. These are beautiful, CaliforniaPeggy!

:hug: Thank you for sharing them with us. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear Cabcere!

Oh, thank you, sweetie!

I love to share whatever beauty I see...

:hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

28. Peggy!

Love the rolling, crashing wave pics!

Keep shooting (pics) ;)

Still storming here, with flood watch and warnings in at least two counties bordering on ours.




I made the finals in the contest, and that alone is satisfying, even though I know I won't be the winner.

The B&W Repeating Patterns is so intense...so different! Has been a great one this time 'round.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear Whoa_Nelly!

Thanks, sweetie!

Oh, you know I'll keep shooting!

The waves are my favs...soooooooo hard to capture them at the right moment...

Be careful with the storm, OK?

Good for you, making the finals! I did that once too, and it is such a great feeling!

:toast:

[puerco-bellies]

30. Great pictures CP

Had to post some of mine too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear puerco-bellies!

Thanks, sweetie!

So I saw...and yours are great too...:hug:

[Adsos Letter]

32. Absolutely gorgeous pictures Peg!!!

I especially like 3 & 5...beautiful jade color in 3, and 5 looks like a Japanese block print. Have you shared with the photo group?

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear adsosletter!

Thank you so much...

Ah, you like my wave pics too!

Those are also my favs...so hard to catch the wave at the proper moment...

I keep forgetting to post over there...My home is truly the Lounge...

I appreciate your very kind comments so much!

34. Sky, clouds, sun, water, land, pier, ship.

Your pictures show combinations of these elements. They are gorgeous, as usual.

There is something in pic number 3 that I can't identify.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear Lionel Mandrake!

Thank you so much!

I really appreciate your taking the time to come by and have a look...

I believe the unknown object in #3 is seaweed...

:hi:

[Robeson]

36. Beautiful pics Peg....

...how fortunate you are to see this. Great pics!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. My dear Robeson!

Thank you so much, sweetie...

You're right!

I am extremely lucky to live near such beautiful sights...

Glad you liked them...
