The Timing Was Right!

My truck is has been in the shop since last Monday after the initial shop I took it to performed unauthorized work! That's another story but brings me to this entry. Without transportation during the day I finally was able to get out with my wife's Jeep on Saturday but only for a short time since she had errands to attend to. The first stop was over to the Boulevard and I could see from there waves crashing over the Breakwater. A ride along Bass Rocks with a quick stop at Brace Cove allowed me about 20 minutes at the Dog Bar Breakwater. There in that short time I was able to take 108 shots! Here are some of those shots.
