Was at Point Arena Lighthouse taking some shots when I saw this guy sitting on a rock outcrop over the water. Did not expect to see one hanging out on the ocean

    The last two are really good Chris. The white need to be tamed a tad. .

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Very dramatic, Chris, with the light on the bird and that ocean BG. Merry Christmas! Pam
