Reluctant Surfer.jpg

Caught this scene at the local surfing beach Swamis in Encinitas, Ca. It looks worse than it is - both of them are laughing the whole time - I thought it was funny because you can see the kid's claw marks in the sand, and the seagull watching the whole scene.

the gull seems switched off from it all - he's seen plenty of crazy humans in his life.

Cool beach scene. I like the uppity gulls and the reflections in the wet sand.
It rained over two inches here. It really came down for an hour or so. Guess our weekly visit to the Zoo is off tomorrow. :(
