Ruby Beach

After our hike at Olympic National Park and the Hoh rainforest we decided to make a stop by Ruby beach since it was on the way back to my grandparents. And if this doesn't sum up weather on the Washington coast I don't know what does. If you go back and look at the sky in our hiking pictures we had clear blue skies and bright sunny day and only a few miles away it looks like this. And then after we had been here for maybe an hour it started to clear up again.

There were quite a few people here which was a little surprising. I had to spend a lot of time editing people out of these pictures because everyone's brightly colored coats really distracted from the overall look! 

We didn't stay too long because it was still about an hour and a half drive back to my grandparents house. But overall we enjoyed our time at Ruby Beach. It was nice to get out and walk around a little bit more and take some nice pictures since it had been quite a while since we had last been there. We even got to see an eagle flying overhead. The pink flowers you see below are salmonberry blossoms and the island off in the distance is Destruction Island, which features a decommissioned lighthouse.
