Sandscapes

Last week, Miz Becky and the Kid and I spent a couple of nights on the southwestern Washington coast, in Moclips. We went walking on the beach, ate seafood, woke up early (thanks Kid), gawked at kites, and generally had a good time. This is kind of a dumpy corner of the coast -- largely depressed timber communities, lots of RV parks, and so on -- but the landscape and the beach is lovely, and the towns are blessedly free of candy stores and t-shirt vendors and Ripley's believe-it-or-we'll-sell-you-a-souvenir stores.

One afternoon as we walked out onto the beach at Pacific Beach State Park I noticed a 20' wide low ridge of sand, covered with delicate sand formations that left me no choice but to photograph. Today and for the next several days, some selections from that section of sand.
