Photo Challenge Day 21: Where you stand

The weather was rainy and windy, our moods were sour. I had hopes of taking a picture of my toes in the sand for this challenge. Instead, it was going to be a picture of my house slippers. Late this afternoon the rain finally stopped. We put on our boots and jackets, and hopped in the van.

We drove up to Cape Perpetua. It is one of our favorite spots, and is the perfect place to witness where the forest meets the ocean. So beautiful! It has a killer view, and not very many people go up there on a Monday (today is our Saturday). We had the place to ourselves. Because it is so high up, it was still drizzling a bit, but we didn't mind.

There was no one there! I walked a bit down the road, almost like walking in a green tunnel. It was so beautiful. The drizzle only added to the beauty, the green so vibrant and fresh, making a canopy above our heads. It was nice to get out for a little.

Stopped at a beach on the way home. We live on the ocean, and try to stop and look as often as we can. I never want to take it for granted. I may not have been able to dig my toes in the sand today, but at least I made it out.

So just ignore my giant feet! Our day only got better from here. We went home (with no arguments from the shortest member of our family), had a nice dinner, and went to bed with a nice, long story. It ended much better than it began, and to me, that is something. I hope you all had a great day in the end, even if it didn't start that way.
