Ocean Beach Animal Life

We visited Ocean Beach again last Saturday, and it was another freakishly beautiful Global Warming afternoon.
The onset of low tide was again graced by birds in a feeding frenzy...
...while darting forwards and back from the receding and surging ocean.
There were plenty of surfers in wetsuits venturing further out...
...along with amateur crab fishermen in clothing trying to snag some Dungeness, newly in season.
Though the water was about 53 degrees Fahrenheit, there were a few intrepid souls braving the elements without protection...
...including the young woman above who appeared to be naked but was wearing a tiny thong.
The older woman above started yelling at me, "Did you ask HER if you could take her photo?" I don't take kindly to the policing of my photography ethics, so I yelled back, "Mind your own business, and put your fucking dog on a leash because he's bothering people and birds." It was very stupid, but people's nerves are shot after the Capitol insurrection, and it probably did us both good to yell at each other.
