While driving, I kept seeing the waves crashing into the coast on the left. I felt compelled to stop and eventually HAD to give in. Near
Ventura, I pulled over and found a trail to hike down. The waves were bigger and more aggressive than any I had seen thus far. I seemed to be the only female among fifty or so male surfers, but I set out to record them in their element without disturbing them. The beach was covered with drift wood, gorgeous rocks, and flowers. There was so much to see and focus on.
I was shocked to discover hours later that I did indeed partially capture this surprising sight. I saw three dolphins jump out of the water with my eyes, but wasn't sure I captured any on camera. AMAZING! And had I not stopped at that particular moment, I would have missed this. (click on photos to enlarge)
