We have been enjoying some very warm and sunny days for January on the Oregon Coast. However, last week we were treated to a magnificent show of 12 to 15 foot waves that made beach walking nearly impossible and hazardous.
.
A few days before the storms at sea the ocean was tranquil.
January 5th became the action out-to-sea day which brought in some pretty big waves. If you can tell in these photo’s (I’m using my Droid Razr camera) you can see waves way out that are huge.
We went down to the mouth of the Rogue River (at the jetty) to see how the river was handling the waves. This photo is shot on the other side of the jetty. My arrows point to seals. There must have been something good to eat here!
Morgan and I went down to the beach to take our morning walk, however, we had to walk in the weeds as the ocean was all the up on the shore.
Lots of sea foam covered the inlet of a creek to the right of us.
I’m glad some sunny, warm days followed this storm and we were able to get out and walk the beach. Today is a little overcast but not so cold we can’t get out! Moran and I did this morning but the tide was in so I “threw the stick” and let the dog run.
Another fantastic sunset.
We are getting some much-needed rest and a good dose of laziness! Life is good. God’s presence is seen and felt.

Fantastic display of ocean energy! Seven years ago we were at the mouth of the Rogue River on opening day of Salmon season. Quite a site to see the fishing boats patrolling the waters. Beautiful country.
