I shot this at Hospital's Reef in La Jolla as the sun slid behind the horizon.

White Flame in Shallow Water

I like this image of a snowy egret (Egretta thula) moving through a tidal pool. My usual preference is for a more symmetrical composition, with the subject centered to emphasize balance. Here, though, the off‑center placement and the visible motion tell a richer visual story. The lifted leg, the ripples trailing behind, and the open beak all suggest a moment unfolding rather than a static pose. It feels less like a portrait and more like a narrative—an image that carries the rhythm of movement and the quiet drama of the hunt.

The Lighthouse and Tidal Treasures

The tide was very far out when we visited Ballycotton last week, so I wandered out on the rocks, carefully avoiding the slippery seaweed, and took a few photos.

Tidal Pools & Sandbars

This is a photo of a beach at low tide. In the center, a shorebird stands in a tidal pool. It appears to be a willet.
