Ruby Beach - Road trip on highway #1

in Shadow Hunters4 years ago

Weekend community I was perusing through a ton of images just to find the right one. And I did, but only with hubby's help.While searching for a certain somebody's (not looking at you at all @galenkp 🤡) #weekend-engagement post, which you can find in the

Shadow Hunters Community. I know, I know I'm linking to a lot of communities, but in a way, communities are the best part of life. Think about it, your family is a sort of community, as are your friends, colleagues, etc. For not being a very social or peopley person I do like communities. They give a sense of belonging, especially here in the virtual realm, if you know what I mean.Side effect: While I kept scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and... you get the picture, my eyes fell on these photos here, which I think are perfect for the weekly #reflections contest of the

Anyhoo, back to my photos. These were taken on a road trip we took from Sequim, WA (blue cross) south along the coast on highway #1 with destination San Francisco. Hubby's parents used to live on the Olympic Peninsula, which is a beautiful place for nature photography (I'm sure for other stuff too). So one time when we visited them, we lived in Germany at the time, we planned and took said road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway. It was so very beautiful... maybe I should make this into a post series, hmm...

If memory serves me right these were taken on Ruby Beach. We were driving from Sequim through the Olympic Pen towards the coast when we suddenly got a peek at the Pacific Ocean. And waves, surf - we couldn't just drive by, we had to stop. And it was so worth the stop.

Just look at this. It looks a little more sundown-ey than it was, I guess I edited it to the mood. But don't tell me that you would not have stopped for a stroll? If you do, I won't believe you. Just look at all that driftwood.

But these next ones here are the reason why I am entering this post into the #reflections contest. I guess I just have to decide which one of the photos. First or second, first or second? The second one, I think, because I always wonder which one is the reflection 😍. Or the first one - arrrrgh!

In any case, this concludes my short post and my little excursion to Ruby Beach, WA. That day we continued driving down to Astoria on the border to California.

It was a wonderful road travel day. And more of the same to come.
