My thoughts and experiences on the exposed outer coast. Lots of photos and a few words about intertidal nature. I’m always thinking about sandy beach connections to its sister ecosystems, the rocky intertidal, estuaries, and coastal forests. You can see photos of things I’ve found washed ashore on my Wrack Line pages. If you are looking for new takes on common intertidal algae, plants, and animals, I’m always updating my Variety of Life pages. I love the full-page layout on all theoutershores’ pages.

Beautiful photos!
Thanks a bunch, Christine!
Feels like home!
Sure does, Lindy!
Great examples. Love the sun-lit clouds!
I didn’t know if the clouds would capture anybody’s imagination. Guess it’s you and me, John. Thanks!
Beautiful light and shadow, Steve. So peaceful!
I’m glad the shots conveyed it. Thanks, Patti.
And thanks for a great challenge topic. I really enjoyed it.
Loved the contrast between the two days Steve – an excellent example of the influence of different qualities of light.
Exaclty right, though I didn’t think about that angle ’til you mentioned it. So thanks! I’ve really enjoyed the last couple of challenges. Don’t know, maybe I like the ones that help me think about the technical side. But then, I could make the opposing argument too.
Beautiful! The sky… wow!!
Beautiful images!
Thanks, Anne, I appreciate it.
Beautiful Images 👍
Lovely!
My husband’s family is originally from Oregon. The Elliot State Forest…That was his Grandfather or Great Grandfather, I get confused! He hasn’t been there in years and I have never been. We just got married last year. He can’t stop saying how beautiful that state is!
Beautiful ocean photos! I love the lighting! 😎
