It is easy to get all caught up in the big picture of the vast expanse of sky and sea, however by experiencing the little details all around...the textures of the sand, the shapes of the rocks, the sound of the water...my enjoyment and connection escalates.

The interaction of the incoming tide and the rocks create some unique patterns and lines along the coast. Del Mar, California https://www.jimmygekas.com/photo/1059/ https://www.jimmygekas.com/images/xl/2017_0427_0085.jpg Beach Trail As the surf rolls in at sunset, it forms some nice lines of whitewater or foam on the beach. Sometimes they form a trail to follow. Solana Beach, California https://www.jimmygekas.com/photo/1058/ https://www.jimmygekas.com/images/xl/2017_0204_0031.jpg Suds and Sea There are lots of fun little treasures along the beach, just keep your eyes open....and just be present. Encinitas, California https://www.jimmygekas.com/photo/1057/ https://www.jimmygekas.com/images/xl/2017_0204_0001.jpg Coastal Concert Whitewater races towards the beach, taking rocks of all shapes and sizes in and out, creating its own beats during sunset.

La Jolla, California https://www.jimmygekas.com/photo/1052/ https://www.jimmygekas.com/images/xl/2016_1107_0091.jpg Ghost Light I watched rocks get scooped up by the incoming rush of the ocean and then disappear into the sunset, over and over until there was no more light.

I do not think he was let down. The sky and clouds lit up and the reflection on the potholes was magical.

They are overshadowed by more well known ones on the other side of the channel. Sunset light on clouds often times brings cool reflections to these little pools.

Also, while watching this little show, I realized that by slowing down and taking some time to myself along the beach, it brings me back to square one. Encinitas, California https://www.jimmygekas.com/photo/1045/ https://www.jimmygekas.com/images/xl/2016_1024_0159.jpg Sand and Surf As the water elegantly slither towards the beach and then glide back out, a few surfers enjoyed the small swell and an amazing sunset.

It's always fun to see what goodies are left at sunset.

Maybe it's because I did not grow up with such brilliant autumn colors anywhere near my childhood home and when I first saw these gorgeous trees in the fall, it was love at first sight. Whatever the reason, I gravitate towards these trees each and every fall, driving or flying almost 1000 miles just to be surrounded by them. These specific trees were slightly light painted with my headlamp in the middle of a forest near the town of Telluride.
