Time To Head To The Beach!

Talk about a beautiful stroll along the beach! I love the water, and the ocean waves as well…even when they get a bit “feisty” like this:

My wife Alex and I rent a beach house in Malibu each summer – and we love to spend the day walking down the private beach:

As you can see, the beach houses hug the shore, and at low tide you see a lot of friends stopping by to visit:

From our deck, you can see a full expanse of ocean, and people walk their dogs, boogie board, or take to the water this way as well – and no, that’s not me!

Cue The High Tide!

Once the high tide starts coming in, the energy of the ocean changes noticeably…no water boarding now:

The beach house we were in has steps that go right to the beach, so when high tide rolls in, it comes right to the house:

Watch Where You Sit!

I wanted to capture the power of the ocean, especially when the tide was at its highest, so I perched myself on the top step and pointed down to the bottom of the steps – and this happened:

Well, that was fun! If you haven’t touched the pacific ocean, it is COLD – but it was sunny out, so I dried off and relaxed…and then Alex decided to celebrate the hit song “cake by the ocean” this way –

“Avocado Toast By The Ocean!”

I love the ocean, and the powerful waves crashing against the houses just reminded me of the power – and beauty – of nature:

The other amazing thing about nature? Sunsets, and I’m not sure there is one more beautiful than over Malibu as well:

Here is a look at some of the incredible images I captured when we celebrated at sunset in Malibu:

Of course, Malibu is home to many Hollywood celebrities, and a place where some iconic films were made as well:

Yes, “From Here To Eternity” was filmed nearby – one of several classic films that used water in their storylines…see them here:
