Big waves barreling,

onto Boomers Beach,

in La Jolla California,

during the current storm.

La Jolla Cove,

which rarely breaks,

was thundering with big waves.

And surfers.

It was quite The New Year’s,

show!

Although the pelicans were not very impressed and chose to snooze through all the drama.
Happy & Healthy New Years to You from Stormy La Jolla~

Yea, to land-dwellers, a problem. To surfers, a holiday. And I love pelicans, well, especially when they’re in flight either above or at wave-top elevation, beautiful. What wonderful gliders, beat only by the albatros.
I love Albatross and photographed them following our ship in Antarctica. Magnificent & amazing creatures. I love Pelis too! ─═☆⭐️☆═─ H͗͑̆̑a͗͑̆̑p͗͑̆̑p͗͑̆̑y͗͑̆̑ N͗͑̆̑e͗͑̆̑w͗͑̆̑ Y͗͑̆̑e͗͑̆̑a͗͑̆̑r͗͑̆̑ ─═☆⭐️☆═─

The sea birds may have one heck of a story to tell. So the waves were still high today?
If only birds could talk! The pelicans that weren’t sleeping were definitely buzzing about the waves and surfers and groups of them were feasting further out on all the yummies upwelling from the turbulence. The waves are starting to drop off now ─═☆⭐️☆═─ H͗͑̆̑a͗͑̆̑p͗͑̆̑p͗͑̆̑y͗͑̆̑ N͗͑̆̑e͗͑̆̑w͗͑̆̑ Y͗͑̆̑e͗͑̆̑a͗͑̆̑r͗͑̆̑ ─═☆⭐️☆═─
Glad to hear things are returning to normal. I wish Google translate worked for animals. Happy New Year!
I don’t know if we would be able to tolerate the feedback!!! 😉
Ha! If we only knew!
Amazing shots, as always
Happy 2024 Cindy !!

Lovely. Especially those unconcerned pelicans. Are they safe from avian flu, which has decimated some European populations?
Avian flu is circulating in local bird populations, but so far cases have been blessedly few, around 354 cases in 44 counties in California since monitoring began several years ago.
Hope it stays under control.
Another good set, Cindy

Happy New Year, Cindy! I think those pelicans are smart – the surfers, not so much so. Maybe candidates for a Darwin Award?
