Funny enough, I was going to combine this with some photos of those beaches on the Olympic Peninsula taken the following week but decided to split the posts. We drove to Vancouver Island then headed down to Seattle and Olympia on the same road trip. The Washington State beaches weren't particularly crowded either but the traffic around Seattle was another story. Don't miss that.
I'll crack and get a good full frame camera with a telescopic lense soon, there's just been other priorities during the past year.
