Myron, waiting for the tide to fill in and this little reef to come to life.

Bounty

in the ebb and flow of life,
this summer has been flowing....over.

On a recent long weekend to the land of white capes we stopped for breakfast from the bush. The Umpqua River Marionberries were going off... the waves were not. Still, nice to share some bowly drops with old timer Terry on the first long period wnw in a good while. It's great to be back in our old neck of the woods, even if only for the summer.

Childhood Stoke

I recently unearthed a box of old photos.
My very first water shots (plus one)...

These were taken with the bright yellow Minolta Weathermatic camera I got for my 14th birthday. They must be from the summer of '85, the year I transitioned from a sponge to a surfboard and had my first stand up rides. I love the expressions of pure stoke in the top two. Doesn't really matter that it is waist deep and ankle high. Joy is where you find it.

Fall Fun Ones

My first fall on the east coast in 18 years proved fruitful....wavewise.
Not that I could be on it every little window of opportunity,
but I was there...when I needed to be.
