I really enjoyed the show after I finished my POTA activation at Pismo Beach. Once the station was recovered and stowed, The Girl and I had a big play. She loved running around sniffing at the piles of seaweed on the shore. Sometimes she found something to eat (yuck) and was told to drop it. Sometimes she dropped it, sometimes she darted off to munch whatever it was before I could catch her.
She ran at me and bit at my boots, which caused me to dance around and then play grab ass. We ran down to the edge of the sea and she pattered about the water, but stayed clear of the incoming surf.
After a few minutes of play, we returned to the rig. I then turned it around to face west, into the Sun. I retrieved my X-T5 from the bag and affixed the 70-300mm tele-zoom and the 1.4x teleconverter to the camera. We spent the next couple of hours before sunset watching the show.
There were three fishermen working the surf. The young woman was part of a pair that were fishing to my left (south) and the light presented them well. She was the closer of the two and was turned facing into the Sun such that her face was illuminated. Her focus captured my attention, so I made a few images of her as she worked.
People working at something always fascinate me. The better they are at the work, the more interesting the become. So it was with this young woman.
I did not see any fish taken from the sea on this outing. That does not mean none were taken; just that I did not see any caught.
I continued to work the scene until the Sun fell far enough behind the cloud bank on the horizon to take the light. That was between 1930–2000h and I started to get hungry. So, we packed it in and headed into town for me to get some supper and then to our room, where The Girl got hers. Yes, she did get a bit of my halibut on my return to the rig. I almost always pay the dog tax.
It was a good day. I remain grateful, because life is good.
