T-Dawg and I took a walk on Newport Beach, Oregon, on a late summer evening of 2005. The wind was doing amazing things to the sand...

And to us! Blasted by the wind.....

Those are really neat and well made sand castles you and T-Dawg built on that hill.

It looks welcoming.
Great shots! I wish the sand on our beach was more powdery like that. It makes it much more interesting in different types of weather.

Wonderful photos. I don't really like to be out on the beach when the wind is blowing so hard, though!

What a beautiful relaxing vacation! Looks like a beautiful place to go. I love the pictures of you and your family.
Were you all a bit chilled with the wind blowing so hard?

Interesting nature made sand dunes and great pictures of your family.
