The sea was hitting the rocks in Pebble Beach with force after the last good storm we had mid-January. If you click on the photo to enlarge it and look carefully, you can see a pair of seagulls flying in the upper left side of the photo.

The Kids at New Years

I love the color and texture of this sliced tuna (Maguro). It had been sliced to make into Nigri sushi.

The photo was taken with a Canon EOS 40D, EF17-40mm f/4L lens, 1/60 sec at f/4, ISO 200 with a diffused flash bounced off the ceiling.
