Late afternoon in Port San Luis Harbor.

This was my first time visiting here. After a four hour drive it felt so good to once again be by the ocean. Getting out of the car I paused to take in some deep breaths of fresh salty air, got grounded, grabbed my camera and started clicking away.

I felt completely relaxed and lost in the realm of photography … when suddenly

INCOMING – TAKE COVER !!!!

I ducked as a giant wing came straight at me through my zoomed lens

Before I had time to collect myself and fully understand what I had seen
there it was, perched on a rock, staring right at me.
Hey lady, what you up to? You got food? Take my picture, how do I look?
No time to think, just point the camera and hope for the best

Seconds later
Now me lady, it’s my turn

And they were gone.
I stood there momentarily stunned,
in disbelief and delighted by what had just happened.
How sweet to see that a few photos actually did come out!
