Killer Surf

Description


Oshie keeps a cautious eye on an incoming wave as it slams into the driftwood piled on the beach alongside Battle Rock this morning. She did try to go out on the wet sand when the wave receded, and I had to call her back to make sure she didn’t get caught in the next wave. The driftwood being washed in and out with these large waves makes them extremely dangerous, and they were coming in hard and fast!

Quote of the Day: "At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun." -Unknown
