This is not normal for the WA coast this late in March. I liked the low clouds surrounding the peak.
This is on the Washington Coast about midway up the Olympic Penninsula. Ruby Beach is probably the most scenic beach I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of beaches, especially on this trip)
This is the trail down to Ruby Beach. You can't really get a good view of the beach unless you hike down.
A small river (or creek) empties into the Pacific Ocean on the beach
This was in the Quinault Rain Forest along the shore of Lake Quinault.

This is just to the right of the road that follows Lake Quinault's shoreline
Snow is quite unusual here, especially this late in March.
Kalaloch is on the Olympic Loop Highway (Hwy 101) on the west coast of the Olympic Penninsula
The Kalaloch State Park has a limited number of campsites overlooking the beach.
There was more driftwood than usual due to the severe December storms this winter.
Just thought this was a pretty scene
This was built between 1888-1891 and is 94 feet tall. The original first order Fresnel lens is now in the Westport Maritime Museum.
In this part of the country, calfs are born in Spring, when it is very unusual to have snow...
This is what's left of the top of the big ceder tree. The tree is still alive and doing well however.
This is a giant tree, although it's hard to get a perspective in a photo. It is just off Hwy 101 on the west coast of the Olympic Pennisula.
Mom wasn't very happy with the drive today, for some strange reason.
In spite of her aversion to cold weather, Mom decided she didn't want to miss the worlds largest spruce tree!
At 107 feet tall, this is the tallest lighthouse in Washington State and the third tallest on the west coast.
This is the main, downtown area of Westport. It seems to consist mostly of commercial fishing charters and a few eateries.
This was built as a home and haven for travellers by the daughter of the original homesteaders, George and Charlotte Brown, who settled in Tokeland in 1858. It has been refurbished and operates as a hotel, although it was closed when we visited it.
There is only a light dusting of snow on the ground, but it is an interesting contrast with the spring blooms on the tree.
There was a very large flock of Godwits in the Tokeland marina, but also a couple of sanderlings in their midst
Pacific County is quite moist, the moss was so soft a lot of the trees just looked fuzzy.
Work wagons, such as this produce wagon, were tailored to match the items they carried. Produce was sold on the street directly from the wagon, so these were brightly colored to attract customers.
