Rialto Beach!

Tuesday, September 24

Rain all morning.  As soon as it stops, the crew and I hop in the Perfect Tow Vehicle and head to the beach!

The Sol Duc River meets the sea . . .

1-DSC00344 - CopyWe pause for this tourist photo . . .

1-DSC00398Bridget, Spike and I work our way past the logs.

1-DSC00402“Wait a minute, guys.  I want to take a picture of this bird.”

1-DSC00410The bird flies to another perch.  He’s a willing subject, so I zoom in for a close-up.

1-DSC00407He’s riding the crest of a wooden wave!

1-DSC00406We can hear the pounding of the surf.  Then we get our first glimpse of it beyond the driftwood.

1-DSC00346 - CopyThe rain is gone momentarily, but the fog remains.

1-DSC00455We walk to the north along the huge logs.

1-DSC00371 - CopyWe pause to watch the thundering waves.

1-DSC00454The frothy breakers look like layers of petticoats.

1-DSC00456 - CopyWe come to the perfect log for a canine crew photo shoot.  I lift Bridget and Spike into position.

“Okay, now.  Stay there.  Good!  Hold it . . . ”

1-DSC00381 - Copy“That was great!  Now wait . . . profiles!  Perfect!  Don’t move . . . ”

1-DSC00384 - Copy“Okay, time out.”  Spike needs a drink after all that hard work.

1-DSC00373 - Copy“Whoa!  Watch out!  Those waves are close!”

1-DSC00385We continue further along the beach.  I meet a young couple sitting on a log watching the waves.  I ask them to take a picture of me and the crew.

1-DSC00365 - CopyThe mysterious RVSue keeps her back turned.  Actually the face-on photo broke the camera.  Noooooo . . . .

1-DSC00364 - CopyI put the crew back in the PTV and return to the beach.  The sky darkens.  A rain cloud approaches from the west.

1-DSC00469 - CopyI love this!  Everywhere I look is a photo . . . .  Ooh, moody . . .

1-DSC00432I have to stop here, even though I have many more photos I’d like to share with you.  My laptop is low on charge.  Maybe tomorrow will be sunnier!
