August in Southern California was a lot cooler and less sunny than normal so it was lovely to see a bright sunny and warm September which lasted all month.
One Monday morning I decided to go to the beach with hubby. While he surfed, I wandered around seeing what was going on up and down the beach.
With most people back at school and work after the summer break, the beach was mostly empty.
There weren't many birds to spot. Perhaps they were back at work somewhere else as well?
A lack of rain means that the basin at the end of the creek was seriously lacking in water.
Workmen are working on a portion of San Juan Creek's wall in anticipation of future heavy rains. In the past run-off has literally run over the wall and flooded the cycle track that runs beside the creek.
After heavy rain the run off water breaks through the sand to empty out into the ocean.
Currently this sign is redundant.
The starting point of the cycle track off limits for months and months until the current work is completed.

I love the colours here: blue, green, blue-violet, purple, yellow ochre.
A pretty shell. Doheny Beach is a nature preserve as well as a State Beach so you can look but not collect.

And doing whatever it is doing here.
