A Trip to the Beach

Since the weather forecast looked good, we decided to take a drive over to Jalama Beach for a walk along the beach and a Jalama Burger for lunch.  The weather turned out to be fabulous, with clear skies, pleasant temperatures and almost no breeze.  I took along my new Canon 100-400mm zoom lens to start getting some practice shooting with it.


As we were pulling out of our driveway, I spotted this Red-Shouldered Hawk sitting on a sign just down the street.



As we started down towards the beach, I shot some images of birds in Jalama Creek, including these Least Sandpipers.



Along the beach I took these shots of stones in the wet sand.
