Pacific Ocean Driftwood

Pin It

Another example of the driftwood, large tree roots, and branches that wash onto our Pacific coast beaches.

Photo taken last March 2016, after a winter storm.

All Washed Up

Pin It

A beach walk last March revealed many large pieces of trees and roots, and smaller pieces of drift wood that had washed ashore during the winter storms.  I found this one to be quite dramatic with the frothy Pacific Ocean behind it, and I couldn't pass up capturing the contrasts between all the elements.

I must remember to post a few more of these.

Another Beautiful December Sunset

Pin It

Walks on the beach have been fruitful lately.  We've had really low tides, exposing rocks often not seen, and sunsets that flash brilliant with gold just before setting beyond the horizon.

New Year's Day Walk on the Beach, Part 3 - Mr CC

Pin It  
Clam Beach is truly stunning when the tide is low
Mr CC is blogspeak for Mr Christine Cooks. Back in the day when I just had the food blog, it was common practice to not give out the given names of family members. Now, with social media telling all, anonymity is practically unheard of.  Still, when I refer to my husband, Clay, on my blogs, he will forever be Mr CC.

New Years Day Walk on the Beach, Part 1

Pin It
Waves of sand

On New Years Day, Mr CC and I took a long walk on Clam Beach at low tide.  I took so many photos that it has been difficult to narrow down my choices for a post.  So I've simply decided to break the posts into parts.

This is part one.  Enjoy.

Driftwood that doesn't drift; anymore

Happy New Year 2010

Pin It

To me the turning of the year means that spring and summer are not far off; the sun will eventually shine, the ground will warm, new shoots will spring from where the old died, vegetables will be planted in the greenhouse and garden, snakes will come out of hibernation, honey bees will strip the red poppies of their pollen, the swallows will return, frogs will sing their joyous chorus to the heavens, the farmers market will open, people will come out of wood smoke-filled houses, lift their faces to the warming sun, and smile. Surely a cause for celebration.


I wish for whatever makes you smile in your new year.
