I took these shots on Winterton Beach in Norfolk, England last week, even though they are 6000 miles from California they feel strangely familiar. To my mind a spell is cast wherever sea or ocean meets land.

The San Mateo County chapter of Surfrider is holding a beach cleanup on Saturday, July 10, 2010 from 12:00PM – 2:00PM at Montara beach.

Sorry for the radio silence over the past two weeks but I have been in the UK visiting my family. I love to go back to London, still one of my favorite cities, and I love the English countryside. I miss my family terribly and it was great to see my Mother and surprise on her 70th birthday, and to see my sister who shares her birthday with Mum. After leaving a cold grey rainy London and returning home to a sunny warm California day, I must say that I did leave my heart in San Francisco.

I took this video on Sunday morning, extremely high tide, many sneaker waves washing in. Several people nearly got washed out while trying to take photos. Note the amount of sand moved on the beach, the stairs and life ring station are half buried under sand.
