Scenes from the beach...

While the guys were surfing and the kids were playing in the water and sand, I captured several images that to me say "beach".

I love the Santa Monica Pier. When Scott and I were dating, we took Dax and McKane there. It was a lot of fun playing with them on the pier. Next time we go back to visit Tom and Anne, we will have to take the girls to the Pier.

There are always lots of birds on the beach...

Lots of seagulls...

Posing on paddle boards...

and walking along the beach. Birds are great subjects.

There was a couple next to me on the beach. The woman had this great bike. As soon as she walked away from it for a moment, I had to snap a picture.

In Utah, we don't have these really cool lifeguard shacks.

This bird kept flying by us as well.There was also a little boy flying this kite.

While we were at the beach, there was a fire in one of the nearby canyons. It closed the PCH for hours. It took us a very long time to get back to Malibu.

These shoes were left at the beach. There is probably a really good story to go with these sexy black heels. And likely some lady woke up wondering where on earth she put her date shoes.
