As I mentioned Friday, one of the events of this weekend was the offshore drive-by on Hurricane Bill. Our weather wasn't much affected (except for the suffocating humidity it pushed up the coast in front of it), but it certainly kicked up the surf around here yesterday and today. I went down to Ruggles Ave. around low tide yesterday (the best time for surfing in that spot), but Bill hadn't really kicked things up yet, and I was having battery issues with the camera. So I went back down today; I was out at Ruggles from 9:30 to 1:30, and there were lots of nice waves and lots of people to play on them. People were getting nice long rides and plenty of room to play and hot-dog. And a big crowd on the Cliff Walk above to cheer them on, as well as the usual photography contingent (including me) pointing their telephoto lenses seaward. It was a grand day!
I've included just three photos here in the interest of space. If you want to see more, I have a web gallery of the best shots here. Enjoy!

I got some good shots of the Roseate Spoonbills this morning. Check out my photo gallery.
The only way we get these views is when our fav photographers send us their art.
For this? I give thanks to you for sharing your beauty.
