It's been wild here on the coast recently. Big, beautiful waves have been rolling in. Ron LeValley photographed one powerful wave with a lot of color in it.
The mist on the top of the wave is sometimes called a "rooster tail."
We have another storm coming in on Tuesday. Yes, El Nino weather is here.
Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Ron's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://levalleyphoto.com/home/
Waves are fascinating to watch and to photograph. Ron LeValley photographed this wave off of Little River, close to the town of Mendocino.
Thanks to Ron for this beautiful photo. You can almost hear and smell the salt air, can't you?!

Ron LeValley was at the right place at the right time to capture this wave action at the Little River Headlands in Mendocino.
It looks like the exuberant wave is going in two directions!

Bettye Winters photographed this big breaker off Manchester Beach last week.
Margaret Lindgren joined in the fun too.
Can you almost hear the sound of this wave hitting the rocks?
Thanks to Bettye and Margaret for allowing me to share their photos with you here. Margaret, owner of Unbeaten Path Hiking Tours, was recently featured in an article in the Bend Bulletin about our Coast.

Anchor Bay Beach is a wonderful place to see wildlife, watch the sunset and admire the waves. Donna Woodbury enjoyed a visit recently and was rewarded with the sighting of a Bald Eagle. She showed the big bird to Jerry Anon and he took this photo.
Jerry also caught a beautiful photo at Anchor Bay Beach of what he calls a glass wave. Just beautiful!
Thanks to Donna for sharing her sighting and to Jerry for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
