Pictures for Pam, Day 188: HFF: Back and Forth Fence with Flowers!

(+2 insets) Please note: Steve and I are away for a while in our RV and during this time I will have very little time, if any, to spend commenting. I will do my best to make up for my commenting when I get home! *BIG HUGS to all of you!*

We are snug as a pair of bugs in a rug here at our campsite with rain coming down around us. The pitter-patter of droplets on the roof of our rig ebbs and flows as the showers come down. It's delightful! We both slept like rocks and I joined Steve for an hour of snuggling when I first got up. Spooning my sweetheart is not a bad way to start the day I think!

Today we will likely be staying inside because it's supposed to rain steadily and heavily all day but I also knew it wouldn't really get started until after 9am. Thus, I sprang out with my camera and macro flash and creeped around the large meadow just next to our rig, taking pictures of things I hadn't found yet. In case we went out, I wanted to make sure I had my pictures taken care of.

Woot! Change of plans! There is an ocean-side town nearby called Crescent City and it features a restaurant known for its fish tacos...we both thought that sounded GREAT! And maybe we could walk on the beach while we were there! RAIN BE DAMNED, HAHAHAHH!! Will add to this when we get back!

*many hours later*

After an awesome lunch, Steve and I walked out to the beach and spent a couple of very happy hours wandering along taking pictures. The rain stopped after about 15 minutes and we enjoyed the fresh air while we captured images of birds, shells, seaweed, the ocean and the lighthouse there. We'd hoped to spot the seals which can be found on one of their piers but the closest I got to seeing one was the wonderful sea lion bronze outside the Crescent City aquarium.

When we finally felt "full" of our beach adventure, we headed back up to the road and what would I find but the perfect fence opportunity for today's main picture, complete with pretty flowers for an accent!

Just as we got back to the street and started back to the car, the faucets opened up and rain absolutely POURED from the sky and the wind picked up to a fair. We couldn't believe our good fortune! Despite having umbrellas, both of us were pretty soaked when we climbed into our truck and thought it made good sense to pick up rain slickers while we were in town.

As I sit finishing up this post, I feel really happy that we didn't end up holed up in oiur RV and I returned with bunches of wonderful pictures to share!

Along with my picture for Happy Fence Friday, I am also including an inset of the seal bronze (with replaced street background!) and a picture of waves crashing on some rocks that I was along our stroll. I'll have plenty of other pictures to share but it's late and I need to post this!

Pam, we thought about you a lot while we were on the beach... A bummer I had to post a fence picture today or the image would be different! Enough said my dear! BIG HUGS from both of us!!
