Big waves in Ventura, CA on Friday, Jan. 24th. Seems that about once or twice each winter, the waves get big and put on a show. Today the conditions were right for making a beautiful sight at "C" Street in Ventura. Ventura Pier Monster Wave

Surfing Dolphins along the Ventura County coast have been the norm for the last few weeks. Water temperatures and clarity are up, bait fish are in abundance and all of these combined created ideal conditions to see our local Common Dolphins feeding and playing in or near the surf.

The past 5 mornings I have been up at 5am racing around gathering up my gear, a sunrise shot a little different than my usual landscape image. The shot I am after is a perfect shot from inside a California barrel looking out at a beautiful west coast sunrise.

Since moving back to my old stomping grounds in Hollywood Beach, I have made it a point to be up and out of the house before day break, walking the beach and capturing the incredibly diverse wildlife and ever changing shoreline. Here are a few of my recent images. Willets trying to stay warm in the pre dawn cold. High Surf and Tides created large foam formations. Offshore winds and large waves create perfect wind surfing conditions for this California Brown Pelican. Early morning Surf Session silhouette. Sanderlings racing in and out with the tides in search of food. Enjoy!...

Another great day on Hollywood Beach. The day included a Nursery Pod of Common Dolphins where mothers were teaching their babies the fine art of surfing.
