Piedras Blancas Beach, CA

Piedras Blancas. There is a section of beach where elephant seals congregate to mate, feed, lounge, etc. Early in the year you can go and see the pups. These pups are a few months old and many of their mothers have already left to eat. When the pups get hungry enough they will venture to the ocean and learn to swim and catch fish in the shallows. Then, as per their instincts, they will swim off and continue the cycles of life.

Children.

"Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944), 'The Little Prince', 1943

Sunset over the ocean! Definitely something everyone should experience in their lifetime. The Channel Islands create a beautiful scape along the horizon. This is another one from my first session at Brooks. The sun is an amazing thing. A sunset where the sun sets solely beyond the horizon is nice, but when there is something else to reflect and distort the light its beauty multiplies. Clouds, water, distant mountains, faces of friends, wet beaches, life.

So I'm a bit behind...
Here are a two I took last night.

People.
I will always remember people.
The intrinsic value of each human being regardless.
We each reflect something so great: compassion, inspiration, encouragement, joy, sadness, empathy, hope, love.
The experience of one person affecting another in a positive way.
I can remember so many moments with friends, family, strangers, when I was affected, encouraged, inspired.
I implore each of you to take a moment for the people in your life, to affect.
Happy Valentines, tomorrow.
