That's a cheesy grin . . .

This leaf was cavorting right along the wave line -  and when he noticed me, well  . . . .   he straightened right up just as high as he could go to check me out!   He decided I was not a threat - nor a help - and (unfortunately) ran right into a wave coming from behind as he took off again.   Never  turn your back on the ocean!

Extra is another wonderful everywhichway wave, courtesy of backwash and a steep beach slope.
