This was at Rialto beach on the Washington coast. There were hundreds of Pelicans this day. These two kept swimming dangerously close to these crashing waves.

Ruby Beach
I just love the Washington coast. It’s always so rugged and beautiful. And only 60-90 minutes away from Sequim.
Beach #2 at Kalaloch
Washington beaches get huge amounts of logs on them, especially after storms or high tides. You must be very careful to NEVER be near a log that is near the surf. The surf tosses and rolls thousand pound logs like little tinker toys, and people routinely get pinned or crushed by them.
The tree of life–Kalaloch
This AMAZING tree is reportedly over a hundred years old. For decades it has been suspended with NO EARTH below it (some roots going into the sides). But it clearly is still very much alive–note the green foliage at the top.
Cape Flattery Trail
When it’s not fogged in–which is not often–the inlets at Cape Flattery have beautiful contrasts in the water.
Beautiful fall color is here
This was taken just north of the Solduc falls. The fall color really adds to the fairytale ambience.
The salmon run (flight)
When a friend and I went to Solduc falls, we saw quite a line up pulled over at the rive so we stopped to see what was the commotion. The salmon were running heavily and it was so fun to watch them launch themselves up the little falls.
