Thanksgiving Eve at the Coast

Last night we had gusts of close to 80 mph - as recorded at Cape Disappointment. Our mid-week guests reportedly loved it - "very dramatic!" Storm watching is a frequent winter past-time out this way.

There was a casualty - one strawberry plant kaput (here pictured on the low roof, where we put the blue pot to keep the &*%% deer away. That's the Crow's Nest room in the background).

The sky tonight - calm and beautiful. 

Evening views - mid November

We went out for a walk this evening (about four minutes to the beach - *with* a kid in tow, so you know it's close!) - the weather's starting to turn to the crisper side.

The World's Longest Beach arch at Bolstad Blvd - approximately three blocks away. 

As we're headed down to the ocean - looking a bit North - beautiful fluffy clouds. I do believe Bob Ross would have referred to them as "happy clouds". 

Edge of the dunes - the ocean itself - sunset - going into winter.
