After the Rain

California had it's share of rain in January. Where I live, it rained for a week straight. This is what the beach looked like the first evening there was a break in the weather. It was cold and windy, the ocean was full of foam. The foam was blowing onshore across the sand. I have never seen this before. It was spectacular!
