Travel Theme: Beaches

Published by

on

This week Alisa over at Where’s My Backpack says “let’s have a beach party!” If you have visited my blog more than once you know I love spending time by the water so this theme should be a breeze. Well, looking through all of my Northwest beach pictures is a big project but I think I have narrowed it down to a few images to represent some of my favorite stretches of coastline in Washington and Oregon states.

    I wish I was on one of those beaches right now, rather than sitting in my office on a sunny Saturday during finals week! Beach parties are on the horizon though, as summer is fast approaching, hooray!

      Thanks! There was an eerie kind of fog in the morning that gradually lifted by the afternoon.

    Beautiful! I’ve never been to Oregon or Washington. I would love to, though! Beautiful beaches — quite different from our Florida beaches!

    Although I enjoy a hot and white sandy beach your photos remind me why I love west coast beaches – can hardly wait for summer vacation!

      Sandy beaches are beautiful but I love the variety of our west coast beaches too. The change from sand to pebble or rock can be really interesting! Thanks for visiting today!

      I’m happy you like them, thanks for letting me know! The third one was from a beautiful sunset during a camping trip and the last one was my favorite trail to the beach on an earlier vacation.
