Evergreens Abound...

Such an interestingly shaped tree.

I love the way the Western Hemlock appears to be bowing to Birch Bay.

Rocks, Rocks & More Rocks...

The different colors of the rocks on Birch Bay Beach were amazing!

The red rock caught my eye.

The stripe in this rock went all the way through... very cool.

This olive green rock with the web-like lines was so pretty!

The lines on this rock reminded me of snail trails.

Sea Shells By The Bay Shore...

Unlike the East Coast, the beach of Birch Bay, WA was mostly a rock bed...

But I did manage to spot a few shells, here & there...

Hiding among the rocks.

This one was one of my favorites...

Here's a close-up. Such a gorgeous color!!
