I am starting my week by participating in the Weekly Photo Challenge: Blue — a blogging experiment from The Daily Post at WordPress.com.
If I had to file every single photograph I own under colors, the top 2 colors would be green and blue. The green file would contain lush green Philippine scenery and nature photos. A close second would be a “blue” photograph file. The color blue for me, aside from the blue sky, means the ocean.
Santa Cruz, near where we live, recently received international recognition as a World Surfing Reserve. Santa Cruz joins just 3 other spots in the world — Malibu, California, Manly Beach in Australia and Ericeira in Portugal — for this exclusive list. Read more from The Blog Aquatic, here.
This surfing news and the color blue challenge reminded me of these photos I took of my grandchildren Jun and Gabriel watching surfers — including their mommy taking surfing lessons — at a beach in Pacifica (close to San Francisco in northern California).
After a good hour of this, then 3-year-old Gabriel, decided that a waterlogged driftwood would make a nice practice “surfboard”.
What do you think? He looks like a natural to me, but that is just a lola (grandmother) talking…
Chooo Choooo chweeeet !!!
Thank you for visiting, and love your wonderful photographs!
The boys looks like they are having a good time and the water looks so inviting.
This was taken during the month of December, so nice enough to splash around in, but a wetsuit is needed in our rather cold part of the Pacific ocean, if you want to enjoy your swim.
Thank you for the comment Wally

Cute boys and great lanscape. I like it…
Isn’t it dangerous, a little kid practicing surf….?
It was a calm day with many swimmers and surfers in the water…and Lola Jane (me – grandmother) standing by and focused on the little guys.
The waves can absolutely be dangerous here, so that is a good point, and one cannot do this on days when larger, rouge waves are hitting the shores.
Love the “blue” challenge theme photos on your blog too!
So cute!
Love this, sooo cute. Green and blue are my two favourite colours too. xxx Ailsa
love these…kids are so adventurous and full of life
Thank you! Kids are so “in the moment”, and many of us forget about this sense of adventure and play. Looking at the pictures made me smile and happy.
