Pacific storms are visiting.
Bringing prayed for rain,
and postcard waves.
Santa doesn’t need a sleigh in Caly.
He just surfs on in!
Cheers to you from Caly’s Surfing Santa~

Nice, Cindy.
Thank you my friend!
Beautiful set of photos!
Mil grazi & Merry Christmas~
Cindy, as a nature lover, you just took me to heaven. Huge hugs!
Awwww, so glad and cheers to you!
Beautiful pictures Cindy!
Merci beaucoup!
mmmmmmmhhh ! beautifull blues and greys und fortunately no santa 😀
He won’t be arriving until Christmas Eve…. 😉
Oh, I can feel the cliffs disintegrating from here with every crash of the waves – the very sad downside of crashing waves! 🙁
Oh yes, especially where houses are built too close to the edge!
Love the idea of surfing Santa 😉
I’ll try to get a pic of him for you on Christmas Eve…… 😉
🙂 Everybody go surfing, surfing USA. Yay 🙂
That is the other thing you can do when you visit besides robbing stage coaches Graham. I will loan you a board as long as you don’t get any dings……
Well I’m quite good at Scrabble or perhaps a little Monopoly. 🙂
See, you need more excitement….. 😉
Love the photos, especially the one at the top…
Twilight reflections, so happy you enjoyed~
These are amazing shots and king tides here on he Washington Coast are entertaining tourists and locals both this past couple of days.
I can imagine, such beautiful, rugged coastline, and I know you are getting pounded now with storms. I would love to see it~
Visions of a Surfing Santa are hilarious! I’m so glad you have been getting some rain though, and your photos of the pounding surf are glorious. 🙂
I guess Surfing Santa is an anomoly to some, but for me, I grew up with him!! 😉 😉
Wonderful pictures you have here, and it reminds me of the power of the ocean, and its beauty.. Take care & Happy blogging to ya…
Yes, our beautiful oceans, with constantly changing views. Love it too!
A very powerful image. Beautiful 🙂
Very kind & appreciated~
Beautiful. I love the sound of waves coming in.
Yes, it tranquilzes me, probably because I was actually born right next to the ocean!
I could read by the ocean all day long!
<3
What a mental image, Santa hanging ten! Only in Caly!
I think he actually moved here from the North Pole, but we are not supposed to tell……
Those splashing waves are therapeutic. Strong movements but yet calm your mind. I could not help imagine Santa on a serf board 🙂
He likes to hang ten on a big board that can handle all the toys…….
Beautiful Cindy. Reminds me of my recent trip down the Oregon Coast. The storms do put on fantastic shows. 🙂 –Curt
The further north you go up the west coast, the more spectacular the storms get……
Looks so beautiful there! Merry Christmas Hugz, Lisa and Bear
Hugz back to all three of you!
Yes! Postcard waves and postcard sentiments. 🙂
If only I could get a snap of Santa……..
Well … 😀
Beautiful land and sea! Those storms cause such dramatic surf. Santa better be careful!
He finds it all pretty tame compared to the frozen north~
Gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you more for appreciating!
Cheers to you too,dear Cindy ! Wondrous seascapes,love the angry disposition of the ocean and all your commentaries under each photo ! Have a lovely festive season 🙂
You too my friend and a Happy & Healty New Year!
Wow Cindy, these photos are truly fantastic!
Awww, very kind & most appreciated~
Beautiful photos…I love storms…not sure why!
I love them too, displays of mother nature’s power!
It would be hard to pick a favorite from these shots, Cindy. Everyone of them is spectacular. 🙂
That is so kind and I am most honored! Cheers to you~
<3 🙂
Those are gorgeous photos of the Pacific shore, Cindy!
Pretty hard to take a bad pic in this part of the coast, it is so beautiful! Thanks so much for the kind words~
Nice!! Santa must be a confident surfer if he’s to arrive in this storm! We’re getting a bit stormy here too right now.
Santa is confident about everything, so are the reindeer! Hope you are enjoying your storm~
Hey, I’m with him, grabbing the surf ski now! Enjoy…
Santa got tired of the frozen north and moved west, but I’m not supposed to tell…..
Beautiful pics <3 I love the sea
I do too, have to get my fix of it regularly!
Powerful images!
<3
of course santa surfs on in… ha! great post!
Santa can basically do anything.
yeah – and we just had a local news story about a man that hit a deer and crashed in his car… – and santa was driving home from his job at the mall – and then stopped to help the guy and the injured man was like “Santa???” I will comeback later and link the post I make when I upload the vid – have a good one Cindy 🙂
Cindy, these pictures are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Hugs! Veraiconica
Hugs and Merry Christmas Veraionica! <3
Wonderful coastline, great surf. Look forward to seeing surfing Santa Christmas Eve.
I will try and get a clip of Santa surfing in…….

Thank you Cindy! So glad to read that A California is finally getting some much needed rain. All of nature seems to perk up and radiate joy after the rains return following the dry seasons.
Unbelieveable the sense of relief and the animals and birds celebrating. We need a lot more though. Thank you my dear friend and Happiest Holidays!
Beautiful photos Cindy. The Coast with the ocean rolling in is captivating.
So happy you enjoyed and cheers to you~

Lovely, Cindy — here, we’ve been stuck with grey skies and rain. Somehow, a nice gentle snow would be more appropriate! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
