Ocean of disappointment

My husband had to go over to Bandon, Oregon for work on friday so I went with him. I love the ocean. I crave the salty smell. So I was determined to go even if it was raining buckets or hailing. So four hours later we are there and the rain is blowing sideways towards the ocean. So that meant that I didn't even get to smell the ocean for the wind was coming from the land. I was so disappointed and then to top it off the fish shack I love was closed. The only saving grace was that it stopped raining long enough to get a few shots.
It was so this one waited for his dinner on the trash can.
One nice thing about bad weather is that the fishing boats are docked.

Looks like you did a great job to me. Especially for the conditions. I love the B&Ws Boat 3 is my favorite but not a bad one in the bunch

Nice shots. Actually it is too bad the boats are in right now. These storms are really causing money problems for the crab boats. It's right in the middle of the season, fuel prices have gone nuts and the guys are stuck at the docks.

- Oh Bull!

Lighthouse is the winner for me. Good comp. and the gloomy feel of a stormy day.
