A Sunday Drive on the Beach


On November 16 Michelle drove us home from church along the beach.


It was high tide and we didn't have much beach to drive on.


The waves were higher than in the summer.


The sun peeked out and made the waves glisten.


People were parked here and there enjoying their Sunday.


We followed the tire tracks.


This guy was fishing.


Dogs love the surf -- seems weird to me.


We came upon an elk carcass.


We couldn't think of a reasonable scenario for it.


Then we came upon a dead seal with its head missing!


Four mysterious horsemen appeared galloping towards us out of the fog.


More sandpipers were running around eating something at the water's edge.


They have long, thin beaks.


Goodbye sandpipers! Have a nice day. We enjoyed our drive on the beach.

Good job mom!! You captured the weird and strange things that we saw that day. Keep on posting pics from Nov. Eventually we will get caught up before Christmas. I loved the picture of the people on horseback the most. They came by us galloping so fast. It looked like fun to me.
