Description
...a morning stroll along a favorite beach on Puget Sound.
...there are literally hundreds of miles of beaches here. I think our favorite beach is the one we are on at the moment:)
...this is low tide on a Fort Worden beach not far from the south side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Canada sits on the north side of the Strait.

P.S. Washington State passed legislation in 1971 to maintain the physical and aesthetic qualities of natural shorelines. That means drift wood stays where it is until carried off by tidal activity.

Three toes, four toes, five toes... A beach enjoyed by all. The best we get washed up here is kelp! Clive

It's a good law. I can't imagine our beaches without those beautiful, bleached logs! That has to be one of my all-time favorite beaches. It's tough to choose, but all that sand is pretty awesome!
awjay
nice idea

The beach where I walk a lot doesn't have that law. You'll often see BIG trucks and guys with chain saw making firewood. They also cut up one of my favorite pieces that looked like a dog. I wasn't happy about that. I'd love to see this spot one of these days!!

Lovely shot of the beach and little bit of drift wood there Bill, well done!!

This is a beautiful vista Bill and that looks like a very large birds prints in the sand, central and walking away.

That is lovely! A good law, although I might need to take home a pocket sized bit.

Spectacular Bill! I love sandy beaches and the driftwood is like ornaments to adorn the beautiful beach!

Beautiful beach scene and the driftwood in the Pacific Northwest is a natural event that should be preserved - no question. Love the ripples in the sand! Dana

Where is everybody?! Really keen POV, DOF, clarity and overall Washington coastline in this cool foto, Bill.

Nice shot chief...Now I want to see the same spot capture at high level :)...Kinda before & After :)

I love our beaches, and this is a great shot! I love the rippled pattern the waves have left in the sand. (Another great one is the one under the Deception Pass Bridge, TONS of driftwood and all the assorted stuff that collects in and around it.)

I got to looking at this again It's a great image but one man's comment made me think and I deleted my first comment I am wondering how come the ripples are that far up on the beach and not anywhere else......find that kind of interesting......and I also wonder if some people do pic up the driftwood even if it's law not too......here at home some people pic up and use it as a decorative item for the home......but I do like that law but looks like there is quite a bit of it........but the ripple question made me think how come that far up and no where else............oh well......tis a mystery to me.......sorry about deleting my comment but I just have that inquisitive mind well sometimes inquisitive...LOL Hugs Susan~

Cool shot!!

A beautiful capture with a lovely sense of distance of this long beautiful beach. I love seeing driftwood on the beach.

I kind of suspected they would have some kind of law protecting the beaches, and even the driftwood. Much as I'd love to take a piece, I can certainly respect the fact that, like any national park, all of its assests should remain to be enjoyed by all. What a loveely shot, Bill. Magnificent desolation, and only a few signs of human activity. I wanna be there!
