Sand, a bit of snow and the peeking sun

Newport, Nye Beach, what a wonderful backdrop for some snow

Highway 101 near Boiler Bay, OR - torrential rain and winds up to 80 mph - It was weather and driving conditions I had never seen before, but fortunate that I didn't know how bad it really was. The wild waves made even crazier by the wind, were crashing up onto the highway at this point.
They tell me it was stormy at home while we were gone, but I beg to differ!!

The water was pushed through this narrow channel and then churned so vehemently, that it created a foamy substance which blew up onto the surrounding hillside like a child blowing bubbles. The rocks may be forbidding, but they are ruled by the ocean.

“A strong Pacific storm raced ashore Monday morning March 12, 2012 bringing wind gusts to nearly 90 mph along the Oregon coast line. By sunset Monday, near record setting snows were falling along nearly the entire coastline of Oregon including the the shoreline beaches.
