This part of the lake could use a good storm to clear the weeds.
By the end of December, this area will all be cleared.
Hubby and I walked to the beach this morning, the waves beckoning.
This was the scene this morning, twelve hours after the first big Pacific storm hit land and winds clocked in at 60+ at Cape Blanco.
This morning, the sun was shining, and we combed the beaches as the surf pounded in the distance, collected agates, small, irridescent stones barely visible among the tiny pebbles, as dog owners chased their pooches on the sand.
My Hubby found a good place to sit.
Tonight, there is another high wind advisory. From November to June, we get out and walk whenever we can, whenever the rain is mild and the winds are not ferocious.
By January, cabin fever sets in. Then, we drive down to California to visit our relatives and soak up more sunshine.
It's a gorgeous beach, Rosaria.

What wonderful pictures! It has been so nice and pleasant here in GA - bright, crisp days, cool nights, I haven't even paid attention to the weather in the rest of the country! It looks spectacular on the Oregon coast. I am a bit homesick after seventeen days away from the San Francisco area, though. Look forward to being on CA soil early Thursday AM!
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly beautiful place to live.
ReplyDeleteThe surf between the rocks is really impressive when you click on it. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos
ReplyDeleteLots of fun seeing your side of the world. I also clicked on the photos to enjoy them better. Oh, the little bird!
ReplyDeleteThe waves remind me of N.C.'s Outerbanks. We once weathered the tail of a hurricane down there and have for ever been thankfull that it was only the tail.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, beeaauuttiiffuull!
ReplyDeleteHow utterly stunning. I live in a beach community, buy your photos really grabbed me. How lucky are we?
ReplyDeleteFrom one retired educator to another, may I say you have a beautiful blog....
ReplyDeleteI love the photos here....absolutely wonderful.
I came from Eddie's blog...and this is lovely. Congratulations on your roast. You did a great job!!
Smiles from Jackie
I haven't been to the beach in a long time, thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeletereally wonderful pics...storms bring things to the surface we would have missed otherwise...a great time to comb the beach!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great sight! You are lucky to have such a beautiful place to walk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful beach and photos! Nice that you can escape to the South in January. Loved your Sunday Roast interview!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the wave break photos - just grand.
ReplyDeleteI just love that beach and am always in awe of those big waves crashing in. Beautiful place.

I always wonder what is over the horizon. I suppose that is universal.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to comb that beautiful beach after such a storm!
ReplyDeleteThe waves crashing among the rocks is a wonderful photo. I spent so much time on the beach when I was growing up. I miss it sometimes.

What a wonderful day! I love the photos. Wish I was there.
ReplyDeletemuch love
I love this little walk after a storm with you.

You really do have a lovely stretch of beach to enjoy. It must be wonderful to go out after a storm and find little treasures that have washed up into the sand. I love what someone has done with the driftwood.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to live by the sea!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, wish I were there.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I am so not looking forward to the very short days. I turned to look out the office window this afternoon just after
ReplyDelete5pm and the sun had already disappeard. You are surrounded by so much beauty and life. It is nice to know you are out enjoying it.
Good you could get out after the storm. Take care in those high winds!
ReplyDeleteLoved the greys in the photo of the surf pounding between the rocks. The driftwood looks like skeletal remnants (in a Georgia O'Keefe-ish way). What a fascinating place you live in. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFollowing the sun....that sounds like a good plan, xv.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place to take a stroll. I love the sea.
ReplyDeleteLove Granny
I want to go to that place with the lake and the reeds and the trees... can you tell me where it is..? Please? I'd be ever so grateful. ;->...
ReplyDeleteThe mysticism of the sea and surf no matter the wind upon it has always been dear to me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! Loved your hubby's chair and "room" setting. How lucky you are to be so close to the heart of nature.
ReplyDeleteI love the winter storms the West Coast is subject to. We are planning on heading to Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island in February. The boyfriend surfs and I watch. It's always spectactular. We are also thinking of Canon Beach. We haven't been in a couple of years and it's time. Your photos inspire longing (in a good way).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI am only hours from you and I am already having cabin fever! The rain pours down outside my window as I write.
