Sher and I recently visited family in the Seattle area. We all took a two day road trip to  the Olympic Peninsula and other places. The natural beauty of this far north western part of the state provided one eye opening scene after another.

 

 

 

 

 

Washington State Olympic National Park is on the Pacific coast in the north part of the state.  This national park has stunning scenery and beautiful coastlines. Highway 101 follows this coast and near the north end of the park it runs next to Ruby Beach. Dramatic “sea stacks”, rocks remaining after ocean weathering are visible from the shore.

 

 

 

 

 

Ruby Beach is home to an unbelievable amount of huge driftwood logs. Tidal currents have for centuries been responsible for the migration up and down the coastline  of the driftwood logs. Many of these weather worn logs have no doubt been on different parts of the beach over the decades.
