The S. F. Chronicle has 100+ photos of the contest last week.
“Ion Banner tries to catch a wave, but eventually wipes out on this one in the first heat. Surfers from around the globe braved the 50-foot-high swells at Mavericks Surf Contest in Half Moon Bay, Calif., on Saturday, February 13, 2010. Chris Bertish of South Africa was selected the winner.”

The hills, which are golden in summer, are a lush green this time of year. Shot yesterday on the way to Nicasio from Olema.

Last week I got an email from Pepe Alvarez titled “Awesome Camera,” and he was right. I’ve been carrying a Canon Powershot G10 in my fanny pack for over a year now and it’s a wonderful camera. (I shot most of the 2000+shots on a recent European trip with the G10.) Well, the new Canon S90 is indeed awesome and sounds a whole step up from the G10 (and G11). It’s smaller, lighter, has a f2(!) lens. Plus the 10 MP is better for my purposes than the 14 MP of the G10 (bigger isn’t always better). Check it out at: https://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/s90.htm
Also, see why Mark McCluskey of wired.com says: “The S90 is the best compact camera I’ve ever used.” – https://www.wired.com/reviews/product/pr_canon_s90
I shot this in our garden about 7:00 this morning. It was cold and misty and the tree was illuminating the garden. (Full moon last night. It’s a Mt. Fuji variety weeping cherry tree.
