On a lightly raining day, we visited the beach where the Elwha River runs in the Juan de Fuca Strait. It is a quiet place with birds (more on them in the future), a rocky beach, and some wooded wetlands surrounding it all.
It is clearly very wet here lots of time. The lichens are everywhere and growling like gangbusters.
Even the dead trees in the water sport life in a variety of forms.
Out at the rocky beach, in a brackish backwater cut off at low tide, we find some sort of tree. It appears that it, too, is thriving.
Yet, in this apparent wilderness, we are never far from human influence. If the boat is not enough to convince you, notice the reflection of the large house in the water.
It was a gray, wet day but somehow it was just what you need to visit a place filled with gray, wet life.
