The 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!

Walk on the Beach
Alone and dwarfed by the thundering Pacific Ocean, the solitary figure walks on a remote beach of the Pacific Northwest and gazes out at the pinnacles of sea stacks.

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.
ReplyDeleteI just love the coast. It's so beautiful, serene and ever changing. Gorgeous photos Julie!
ReplyDeleteI love water and the color blue. You've captured them both. Seashore is my fav!
ReplyDeleteThe third one is so nice with the silhouetted solitary figure...
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a frame makes. Looks like a completely different photo.
ReplyDeletewow, is all i can say. each photo is so simple, yet beautful. they each have a perfect balance. i love the reflection. stunning, well done.

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.
ReplyDeleteI love ocean shots! One of my favorite places to take pictures over by me.
ReplyDeleteOlympic park is definitely somewhere I plan on visiting one day though!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Julie. I love the black and white one with the lone figure especially, with the seagull a close second.
ReplyDeleteThey are so peaceful. It makes me relax just looking at them. I LOVE seagull reflection... how were you able to get close enough to do that? These are wonderful. It must have been a relaxing vacation... at least that is what the feel of the pictures say to me.
ReplyDeleteLove the seagull and it's reflection! Beautiful and peaceful series, Julie.
ReplyDeletethe waves and the birds look so tranquile...your images remind me why we need preserve our earth!
ReplyDeleteMMM, I use a 28-300 zoom lens. The seagulls are not particularly nervous either. LOL
ReplyDeletethought fifteen, your words are why I do what I do. Thank you.
