First Beach


A few weeks ago we went to First Beach in La Push, Washington, while on our camping trip. It was really nice there. We all had a lot of fun splashing in the waves. My little brother had a lot of fun with that & he got really wet!

The end of the beach was where we saw most of the sea creatures.  You can see two kinds of barnacles and some mussels in the first photo in my collage (above). The second photo was actually taken right after we got there, and, as far as I can tell, doesn't have any sea creatures in it (so I guess this is kind of the "odd one out"). The third photo is of a sea anemone; I think it's the same kind of anemone as the ones shown in the photo below. And the last photo is of a star fish. :) While writing this I noticed what I think looks like a heart on one of it's arms, toward the bottom of the photo. Can you see it?

Guest Heart Thursday

I hope you're able to spot the heart in the photo above. :) I didn't notice it until I looked through my photos after I got back from the beach. I'm glad I was able to take a picture of it!

kite flying at sunset

I took these pictures a few weeks ago at Crescent Beach & RV Park in Washington (read about in my previous post). While the rest of my family were setting up our tent, I noticed that someone was flying a kite over by the beach. The sun was setting, and I thought the silhouette of the of the kite looked neat against the cloudy sky. We had recently got a new camera with a nice zoom, so I was eager to try it out. I grabbed the camera out of our van and snapped these pictures.

** I am posting this post a few months after I originally started writing it. I noticed I never posted it and decided to finish it up. I also decided to post it at the date that I started writing it at.

Crescent Beach


We went camping a few weeks ago, and we stayed at Crescent Beach & RV Park in Washington. It was one of my first times camping, and I found it to be lots of fun! The beach was across the road, and we could hear the waves really well from our campsite; it's a very peaceful sound to fall asleep to. 

I took this picture when my mom, my siblings, and I went down to the beach to watch the sunset. It was beautiful! I hope to post more pictures — both of the beach and some other places we went to during our vacation — soon. =)

clouds & camera


We went to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park last Friday. It was so pretty! I'll try posting some more pictures I took there soon. The reflection in this picture was in one of the windows of our van, and was taken right after we got there. :)
