The much predicted rains have finally arrived. It has been raining hard since about noon (Sunday). According to the weather forecast we can expect more than a week of rain (is this Southern California or Seattle?).
In anticipation of all the rain coming our way I snuck out a bike ride along the beach before the heavy rains began. The big waves, however, arrived on schedule, ahead of the rain.
In this series of ten photographs you can see a wave roll in, rise above the sea wall and then soak the road. Incidentally, that is the very same road that I ride my bike on when I go to the beach.
Today I got a good soaking from the waves and then from the rain. By the end of the ride I was very wet but also very happy.
It was a real fun ride!!!

Not quite sure that this song goes well with the pictures above, but I really like Elisa's vocals, so here it goes.

I am happy that you have been very happy to ride under the rain and the waves ! maybe you were right ! maybe bikes are able to float , especially yours (lol) !
your pics are wonderful, to see the waves like that ! it is like a "bande dessinée" you have the different sequences and if you look at them very fast that makes a story ! you can just put music and that is a story and if you put some speech you can make a movie ! lol
