it snowed at the beach!

Okay, so it wasn't really snow. But abundance of foam from the stormy sea certainly resembled that lovely cold stuff that's great to ski on. The dogs (and humans) were most intrigued...


TempTide sniff here and there trying to figure it out.

Kurt (L) and John, too. Well, don't think they were sniffing, but definitely checking it out. That's Fetch checking out Kurt's handy work.

Check out that surf, clouds and the coats. Tell them it's not snow.

The foamy stuff hangs out solo. It all blew away within 20 minutes.

Now THAT really does look like snow! Here in Upstate NY we are getting the real thing....and I hate it!

And we're just over the line in Connecticut and getting it too.. my little dogs are not happy with the coldness and the wetness..and Big Ben is loving life.

Great pics of the foam, that's amazing, never seen anything like it.

Isn't that crazy? One of the regulars, Al, says it has something to do with proteins from the ocean (I'm sure, combined with the fast winds and hard surf). Perfect example of why I need to bring the camera with me on every visit.

Great pictures! This foam is very interesting phenomenon. I have never seen anything like that. It would be fun to ski on it.

I have never seen that! Wow, that's intense! We kept meaning to go check out the high surf and such (not with the dog, just for us new Californians) -- I can't wait to take Dahlia into snow in Utah. She'll have a ton of fun.

About This Blog

San Diego's Dog Beach (in Ocean Beach) is the original leash-free dog beach. It's a stretch of sand and ocean that is one big 24-hour playground for canines and humans. This unique place is home to many, and a special trip for others. There is always a story to tell. I'm lucky enough to visit Dog Beach nearly every day, and this blog is my way of sharing a wonderful place with anyone who loves dogs, the beach, or both.

I'm a PR gun for hire that spends much of my day tied to the computer or iPhone. After moving to San Diego from the Midwest 14 years ago, I never looked back. I found my home. My home office is only a mile away from the Pacific Ocean, which allows me to enjoy mornings at San Diego's most excellent leash-free beach with my dogs. Social and exercise time for all of us.
