My second visit to Bowling Ball Beach which is just south of Point Arena on the Mendocino Coast. My first visit did not result in any images as the tide had been out a very long time to where the "bowling balls" were completely dry and the sky had no clouds.
This day I was hoping to have the water at mid-level on the stones so I could do some long exposure shots to produce a misty look. I got here early and walked right by them as the tide was high and completely covered them. After walking a ridiculously long way down the beach I finally realized I had missed them. By the time I got back the tide had gone out enough to see them but by the time the light got interesting the tide was where you see it in the shot and was too far for any long exposure shots. But it did allow my to find this starfish and a crab. Two photos uploaded into this gallery.

North end of Clear Lake from the boat launch in Lakeport. I keep returning to this spot as these four sail boats are always tethered here and I'm trying to get them in the best light. Perhaps I did this time. This shot won both Photo of the Day and Photo of the Month on a photography website.

On one of my trips to the coast at Ft. Bragg which ended up being totally fogged out, I stopped along a creek in the Jackson State Forest. You Middle Earth fans will understand the title. Two photos uploaded into this gallery.

Definition: Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement and success in the process of the activity.
I thought this defined how I feel each time I return to Socrates Falls. I keep coming back to get the perfect composition with the perfect flow. I'm sure I'll keep trying. Four photos uploaded into this gallery.
