The isolation of this pandemic is really beginning to get me down. I haven’t seen my Washington friends in two years now, and I so miss the majesty of the Washington coast.  The urge to travel is becoming nearly unbearable.

While daydreaming about the Pacific Northwest, I remembered a shot that I made several years ago on my first drive up the Washington coast.

It was in October of 2014, and I needed a rest stop after a few hours on the winding, undulating Highway 101.  If you have never driven the Coast Highway, US 101, then you need to make the trip.  You won’t be disappointed. 

I had seen pictures of Ruby Beach, but had never been there.  It was cold, rainy and foggy – typical Washington coast fall weather.  Because the weather was so difficult, the crowds soon parted, and I was afforded a great view of this striking landscape. 

This is where I belong; this is home.  Someday soon I will return. 

Best wishes to you all, and I hope this photo brings you all some joy and hope for better days.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog.
