Ocean Waves, Surfing, Birds, a Cat, And XMas Tree Lights

I visited Christine today at the water park she manages (Breakwater Beach) in Seaside NJ and decided to take a walksie out on the beach. A few things came together to form great waves today. An Off shore breaze, a large off shore storm, and high tide. Then later in the day i got home and Christine and I put up XMas lights on the tree. For some reason i didn't get any actual picture of the tree. I just played with the affects I got when I kept the shutter open for a while.
