Mug shot of my pooch

Morgan Maasen

If you spend as much time as me ploughing through the internet, searching for worthwhile blogs, sites or facebook profiles, you'll undoubtedly find the odd gem amongst the rubbish.

Morgan Maassen, a young talent from California caught my attention the other day and if he was female I would be buying an engagement ring. Incredible photos and a wizz on photoshop this kid is amazing.

Here are my two favourites all though there are hundreds just as good on his site.

LOKI

The latest addition to the Brea Vean Surf House and Muir Family. Loci, a 9 week old Cockapoo, already has her sights set on dominating the surf dog world.

3 weeks and she's on the beach woohoo!

While the surf still isn't up to much or too much in fact, I have found myself exploring breaks all around the coast and appreciating the scenery that I would have otherwise missed.

Inside or out?

With my chicken coup not lasting the night, I wasn't surprised to see Lattes and Hot chocolates with the works not been served on the balcony of the Beach restaurant.

Braving the elements I ventured out to try and capture the impressive display of ocean and wind.

Not doing it much justice, the biggest surprise was seeing the balcony empty despite the sunshine....strange!
