Flowers and CA beach

Two flowers I took a while back. Followed by 4 from a NorCal beach. THe rusted pipe and cement blocks were part of a drainage line installed to keep the road above and cliff from collapse. Fail? Or did it do its job until under cut by wave action?

Is that a dolphin jumping out of the water in the second to last photo?

I should have been so lucky as to have that happen.

Where are your beaches?

Our beaches are white sands and no cliffs or big rocks.. just flat but beautiful. The gulf is a different color water than the Pacific or Atlantic beaches and warmer. It’s nice to see a change of scenery with your photos

The coast of FL is different. Doesn't drop off as fast.
