A Walk on Second Beach - Part 2

Framed photo of a solitary seagull walks along a wild beach in Olympic National Park casting a shimmering reflection on the wet sandThe blizzard in Colorado has moved east and the sun is shining. We have plowed the road and ventured outside. The rambunctious young dog ran freely with pent up energy and plunged into the snow totally disappearing and then popped up looking surprised and happy. Ahhh, Colorado.

But today's post is about our vacation last month to the Pacific Northwest and specifically the wild beaches of Olympic National Park. This collection has taken a turn toward a contemporary feel and accentuates the simplicity of the wild seashore at Second Beach. Enjoy and share your thoughts!

  1. These are lovely as ever, Julie. I particularly love the second one and the third has a haunting, lonely quality about it that I love.

  14. I like the 2nd and 3rd one. Bird photos are just not my thing. The other two look like above a couch type of photos. They do not look like firemantle photos. They also look like the types I would want to be long photos and not squarish photos. Again personal prefrence.
