San Francisco Zoo: Ocean Beach

This is the last picture I'll be sharing from my visit to the San Francisco Zoo. This is Ocean Beach, which is a 2-minute walk from the front of the zoo. I couldn't resist jogging over for a few pictures, and was instantly reminded that just the day before, there were record-breaking winds here and it was still blowing very hard. You can't tell from this image, but the sand was thick in the air, stung my skin and caused me to squint to keep sand from my eyes! After I snapped a few shots I put my camera under my sweater and left quickly. Happily the sand didn't get into the camera, but when I got home, sand was in all of my pockets and my shoes! I'm so glad I risked the pictures because I'm really happy how this one turned out! :)
