It was one of those mornings when everything on the driftline seemed to be out on display. I was waiting around, waiting for one of those high spring tides. The ones they call King Tide. The sand was wonderfully clean, and occasional sun breaks let the light in. Waiting gave me time to take a look around. Here are a few driftline scenes that stood out to me.
Companions
Driftline mystery
Sunrise over the foredune
My gear, showing off
California mussel
Dogwinkle egg cases
A kiss between friends
Moon jelly
Drifted Dungeness
These are some of the scenes I came across waiting for high tide. To see these and other washed up items on display the morning of November 25, head over to Wrack Line 2019. There, you’ll find a whole year’s worth of drifted discoveries.

So wonderful to see nature’s displays here, Steve! Such a beautiful driftline scene series,
Thank you for for sharing. 🙂
I’m grateful for your challenge, Amy. It took a few days to register that the beach had plenty of things on display that morning.
My pleasure, Steve.
Wow. Quality photographs!
My favorite by far is Companions. Thanks John.
Excellent photography with Companions being my favourite and Kiss between friends a close second
We agree, Companions! I like Kiss too, mostly because I know that stump well, and it takes a good high tide for the swash to kiss it.
These are amazing! Love Love Love these photos! 💙
Great post and fantastic photos! Oregon coast is such a beautiful part of the world to explore and photograph, would love to visit one day 😀 Aiva
You’re so right, Aiva, and thank you! I hope you do get to visit the Oregon coast soon. Drop me a line if you need any suggestions.
Sunrise over the foredune. Awesome.
Thanks, Trish. That’s a good one. Thanks for letting me know. That sun barely made it up before clouds covered it. But soon after there was a sun break and a pretty nice rainbow.
So beautiful! Had to giggle at the photo of your gear, & intrigued by “Kiss between friends”. Yes, I see that! Thank you for all your posts this year. What quiet joy I feel when I look at your photos.It is especially so when memories of my visit to that part of Northern California/Oregon border, both in June 2006, and February 2010. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year/new decade, 2020.
That kiss is a fun one. As you already imagine, the stump sits where, at higher tides, unless there is very big surf, the swash only gently kisses it. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful reactions to my posts this year. Merry Christmas to you!
Loving the kiss 🙂 🙂 Merry Christmas to you!
I agree, Its a good one, and kind of a fun caption. Thanks! And a Merry Christmas to you.
Excellent displays and excellent shots! Ah, on my wall I could easily have them all. My favorites are the driftwood.
Such a sweet compliment. Thank you.
Such a wonderful gallery. The logs on the beach are amazing.
I agree, it’s the logs. Thank you so much.
Splendid displays, beautifully captured.
