Before Holland woke up, I had enjoyed a morning coffee & used my Peak Flow Meter; finishing up the trim work on another ABB while he drank his coffee and cleared the mental cobwebs.
Eye-opening reading, this morning :-( & I finished trimming the latest ABB.
Placing his coffee mug in the sink he asked if I'd like to go for a drive: and off we went.
I'm going to be brief in posting today's activities and let the pictures speak for themselves, because it's late tonight and we have an early morning tomorrow … and getting posts up with this new Blogger format t.a.k.e.s.a.l.o.t.o.f.t.i.m.e. (I'm still debating with myself about keeping my Blog up because of this format :-( )

A mirrored heart-shaped cloud in the peninsula sky ;-)
We started at Beard's Hollow and drove a beach drive loop back home through Oysterville - Holland had never driven through the little hamlet before, and I wanted to show him the little church: not a denomination I would be comfortable in, but it's pretty cool to see ;-)
Long Beach-WA: was laid out in 1880 by W.E. Willmore as Willmore City, the town was first settled in 1882. It was soon promoted as a seaside resort and was renamed (1888) for its 8.5-mile (13.5-km) beach.

Oysterville-WA: was established and named in 1854 by J.A. Clark. It was a hub of oyster farming as the name suggests. It was the seat of Pacific County until the seat was relocated to South Bend in 1893.

This looks like volcanic rock rubble; Beard's Hollow, Ilwaco-WA
Basaltic lava flows border the accreted land to the north and east; the steep cliffs that form North Head Bluff are rocks of the middle Eocene timeframe: these rocks are ancient lava flows that erupted underwater and were later scraped off onto the North American continent. These lavas are more resistant to erosion than sedimentary rocks, explaining why they form such prominent headlands in an area otherwise dominated by sandy beaches.
The waves are larger and wilder here, because the ocean slants deeper.

I would only dare being this close because of my merman ;-)
Definite lava rubble.
A cliff 'tagging' …
Double gray heart clouds; Ilwaco-WA

Huh … fanciful, or cryptic ;-); Seaview Beach Approach-WA
I saw a LOT going on with this particular cloud formation: 6 hearts, an atomic bomb mushroom cloud, a jellyfish (or a flying saucer); I couldn't decide if this cloud cluster was simply fanciful humor shaped by ocean winds - or an apocalyptic message ;-)
A cloudy human skull … or an alien face; do you see it?
A big FAT heart-shaped cloud; Cranberry Rd. Beach Approach-WA
This cloud looks like a funnel cloud.
Horses.

Swarmed by a flock of seagulls; Oysterville Beach Approach-WA
Oysterville Church; 1982 - basically began as little country catholic, or lutheran, church … and morphed into a nondenominational church.
Oysterville Church; #33701Territory Rd, Oysterville, WA 98641:

A small, compact wood furnace in the center of the building.
Pews with wooden dividers … I have no idea why, & no internet info.
