Beach Scene

The ocean is totally unpredictible. On one of my morning walks along Waldport beach, I counted no less than 6 star fish that had washed up during the night. All along the beach there is driftwood-- all sizes and shapes, some even with barnacles. It was interesting to see how the shapes were different each day with the movement of the sand.
An amazing look out point called Devil's Churn. The sea rushed in and out and make such loud , roaring, sounds.
The hike down to Devils Churn showed how weather can affect the mountainous growth. This tree has probably survived all types of storms. Oh, by the way, along the west coast there are Monday morning Tsunami alerts.
