Normally the sand dune hills at this location are smooth, interrupted only by foot prints.
We called these interesting formations 'lids'.
Pointing up from the sand these jags created seas of their own along the beach.
More common during normal windy conditions these ripples had the look of a meticulously raked Buddhist sand garden.
Never before have we seen these 'toad stool' sculptures rise up from the sand. Marvelous creations of wind, sand, and moisture!
Close-up view of a sandy toadstool, sand still rolling and scraping around it, continuing the artful process.
The sea churns.
Fascination erupted at a new sight for Caroline as she observed sand shifting in the air as it blurred her view of the Pacific.
Beauty has many forms. To be open to them - to allow their introduction - is to discover deeper joy, strange new forms of Divine Art.
In the end, we were not at all sorry for the storm. Instead of coming home with only the usual beachy views of loveliness we were also privy to secret gardens heretofore unknown to us. We came away with a new refreshment, a rejuvenation blown in and through us with the wind.

im here because of few cents for you. just dropping by.
Just amazing photos. Exhilarating, it must have been. What were you saying about framing photos and hanging them up? Well, there you are. (Oh, and I like your new template on the other blog.)
Thanks, Deanna. It really was amazing.
What a cool phenomenon you and the girls witnessed! Leave it to you to find beauty in miserable weather. ;)
Thanks, Tshs. We were happy that there were clear spaces of blue and 'normal' beach loveliness, too. But wow! That storm!
Beautiful Cherie, I've never seen formations like that from sand before. Very special!
Pretty amazing, eh Sandy. I'd never seen them before either. Odd little things...
Wow! These were new to me as well, thanks for photographing them and sharing.
