These frigate birds sail over the shoreline in search of food or perhaps just the joy of living in the sky. They resemble small dinosaur birds with a big wingspan.

Close to sundown any color in the sky had been suffocated under a curtain of clouds. Then a window in the clouds opened low in the west. The previously gray scene lit up in a beautiful beam of warm light that faded within a couple of minutes.

This isn't a great photo of a Redstripe Pipefish, but I think the small bumps on its underside may be eggs. Pipefish and sea horses are species where the male carries the eggs until they hatch.
Rialto Beach
Rialto Beach is a public beach located on the Pacific Ocean in Washington state. It is adjacent to Mora Campground in the Olympic National Park near the mouth of the Quillayute River, and is composed of an ocean beach and coastal forest. The many miles of seaside topography offer views of sea stacks and rock formations in the Pacific Ocean.[1]
Rialto Beach is north of the Quillayute River. To the south of the river is La Push Beach.
The beach was named "Rialto" by the famous magician Claude Alexander Conlin after the Rialto theater chain. Conlin had a home in the 1920s at Mora, overlooking the beach and ocean, until it burned in the 1930s leaving no trace as of 1967.[2][3]
Rialto Beach also features a tree graveyard, with hundreds of tree trunks deposited by storms.

La Push
La Push received its name from traders using Chinook jargon for river mouth (a corruption of the French “la bouche”). In 1882, European culture was brought to the village in the form of schoolteacher A.W. Smith and his school. He set about renaming Quileutes from the Bible (Esau, Sarah, Christian), and American history (William Penn, Henry Hudson, Andrew Jackson, etc.) as well as anglicizing Quileute names (Buckety Mason, California Hobucket). In 1889, all 26 houses at LaPush were burned to the ground by a settler who had wrongly claimed the land. The fire devastated the last carved masks, baskets, hunting equipment and sacred regalia from pre-contact days, except for what may have been relocated to museums or private collections.
The Constitution and By-Laws of the Quileute Tribe (1936) and their Corporate Charter issued by the Secretary of the Interior in 1937, recognized and established the sovereignty of the Quileute people as a self-governing political unit within the United States. The Tribal Council consists of five members, elected to staggered three-year terms and constitutes the governing body of the Tribe.
In 1974 under US v. Washington (Boldt Decision), the United States District Court affirmed the tribes’ treaty fishing rights “in common” with the citizens of Washington State. The decision designated 50 percent of the fishery to the tribes and provided for co-management of fishing and eventually shellfish resources. (This case was not closed; it has been left open for continuing sub-proceedings to further refine tribal fishing rights under the treaties.)
James Island or Akalat (Top of the Rock) figures prominently in the history of the Quileute people — from documented oral accounts, ethnography, ethnohistory and archeology. A natural fortress, the island was the location of a fortified village in 1788 when first described in Meares’ written accounts, and this defensive function was maintained into the second half of 1800s. Evidence of habitation in this area comparable to the Ozette site goes back 8000-9000 years, possibly longer. James Island is also known as a source of spirit power for the Quileute people and a place where high-status individuals were placed in canoes in the trees after death. In the second half of the 1800s, the island was used as a garden where potatoes and possibly other root crops were grown and stored in cellars. The viewpoint provided by the 160-foot high rock was ideally suited for sighting whales. It was a natural lookout to defend the village against occasionally hostile neighbors. In view of all of these and other uses as well, it is not surprising that the cultural resources of James Island are profoundly significant in Quileute culture and group identity.
James Island and the village of LaPush also were important sites in World War II as part of the 13th Naval District’s Coastal Lookout System. Both the LaPush Lifeboat Station and the LaPush Beach Patrol Station were located within the village adjacent to James Island. Because James Island obstructs a full view of the horizon from the village, a lookout tower next to the Lifeboat Station house was complemented by a second lookout structure on the island.
During 1997 archeological reconnaissance of the island, evidence of former structures was found, including foundations remnants; pieces of a cable car system with tracks, winch and cable car. These overlie archeological shell midden deposits, evidence of previous village habitation.
Today the US Coast Guard operates a foghorn warning system and a lighting system that provides guidance for boats entering the harbor during night-time inclement weather. A well-maintained steel stairway exists for maintenance and the more adventurous hikers.
During the summer of 1997, James Island or Akalat was the site and symbol of the International Gathering at LaPush where 23 tribes from Washington and British Columbia paddled to celebrate the revival of the ocean-going canoe traditions of Northwest Indian coastal tribes.
For many Washington residents, Indian and non-Indian alike, James Island stands as a preeminent reminder of the extraordinary breathtaking beauty of our Pacific beaches.

Standing by the sea, I look out into infinity.
My gaze sweeps from left to right, and I can see almost 180 degrees. With my own eyes, I can observe the curvature of the horizon. I’ve come face to face with the planet.
It does something to you, to see it with your own eyes, this incomprehensible scale of the ocean. It's liberating. You let go of left-brain knowledge and lose yourself in awe.
Our ancient ancestors all the way back to the first animals have been seeing oceans just like this, and if there are other living worlds out there, they may have similar watery expanses.
Standing by the sea, I feel the oneness of it all. I feel connected to eternity.

This quaint fishing village at the mouth of the Fraser River was declared a heritage zone in 1960, which accounts the warm, old-timey vibe. But it is also a working fishing village, which makes it a seafood lover’s paradise.

The F/V Blue North is a state-of-the-art, 191-foot (58.35 meters) freezer longliner fishing vessel specifically designed for the Alaskan cod fishery. Built in 2016 by Dakota Creek Industries in Anacortes, Washington, the vessel is owned by Seattle-based Blue North Fisheries.
Here are some key features and specifications of the F/V Blue North:
Dimensions:
Overall Length: 191' 5" (58.35 meters)
Beam: 42' 0" (12.8 meters)
Draft: Approximately 7 meters
Propulsion: Diesel-electric twin propeller dual-azimuth propulsion system. This system, along with a smart grid for monitoring engine power, contributes to approximately 30% less fuel consumption compared to traditional platforms.
Stability: Features a heavily weighted box keel design for low weight and an anti-roll tank, providing an extremely stable working platform.
Crew Capacity: 26 crew members plus a hospital.
Speed: Cruising speed of 12 knots.
Moon Pool: A unique feature in the United States' fishing industry, the vessel has a moon pool in the center line. This internal haul station allows for one fish to be caught at a time and brought inside the vessel, protecting the crew from harsh weather conditions and reducing the risk of falling overboard during hauling. It also allows for the safe release of non-target species.
The F/V Blue North incorporates several "green" technologies:
A heat recovery system captures heat from the engine-cooling system to heat the vessel, produce hot water, and run the freshwater maker, reducing reliance on the engines.
All water and waste are captured and treated onboard, preventing discharge into the ocean.
Internal Processing: The vessel efficiently utilizes proteins onboard, processing fish wastage that is commonly discharged overboard in other vessels.
The F/V Blue North represents a significant advancement in fishing vessel technology, focusing on sustainability, crew safety and comfort, and humane harvesting practices for higher quality seafood.
