It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and we decided to spend a few hours at the beach. We drove about 40 miles to Point Dume Beach in Malibu, along the Pacific Coast Highway. Point Dume was named by George Vancouver in 1793 in honor of Padre Francisco Dumetz of Mission San Buenaventura. The name was misspelled as “Dume” on Vancouver’s map and has never been corrected.
There are rock climbers at the volcanic cone,
Walking in the sand is a great exercise!
We laid our blankets, had some snacks and watch the gulls
With a split of a second, I saw them, a whole bunch of them, without warning!
What a sight!

These are beautiful shots, Ebie! What a blessing it is to live only 40 minutes away from the ocean.

You are quite quick Ate Ebie. Look at what you captured. I was stunned. Maybe ‘Dume’ stuck because it looks easy to read and sounds easy to write and spell. I love the footprint shot.
