Last weekend we went to the beach with my in-laws. It was a beautiful day for February in Oregon, but I still thought it was very cold and spent the whole time bundled up in my wool coat. Once again I forgot my camera so these were taken with my husband’s phone.

Those are terrific! I am always impressed at the quality of the pictures you can take with a cellphone these days.
Looks like a great day at the beach! Book Savvy Babe
Boys always love digging don’t they? Whatever the weather. Looks like your dog had a great day too.
Brrrrr. I need to be nearer to the equator to go to the beach in the winter. I don’t blame you for wearing a wool coat. I bet the boys had a blast though!

That’s just the sort of beach I like – beautiful blue sky, driftwood and children enjoying life.
Beaches are always more interesting in the winter I feel. That piece of driftwood is massive!
Most beaches that I’ve been to in Oregon have driftwood that is basically tree logs (and smaller driftwood too of course). If they’re far up the beach they make great places to sit and play. When they are closer to the water they are deadly dangerous because a wave can run them into you if you’re not looking.
It looks like you had the beach all to yourself! What a fun way to spend an afternoon
There were a few other people there, but we were all spread out so much that it was pretty much the same as having it to ourselves.
It is beautiful…but it looks cold! I know that even down here when it is in the 80′s, the beach can be cold with that wet breeze.
I love these Alyce. The boys and dog look like they are enjoying themselves.
Today’s phones take great photos! I probably would have been freezing too, but it looks like the boys were having fun.
I was thinking of posting beach pix but I wouldn’t want to blow Alyce out of the water. lol! Pun intended!
The quality of cellphone pix has really come a long way very quickly, though. Love the one with the dog.
Great shots! My phone doesn’t take good ones…or probably it’s that I don’t know how…lol
Love the beach, and the driftwood looks very artistic. The kids and the dog are thoroughly enjoying themselves….
Whole beach to yourselves? Looks like the boys are finding interesting things.
There were some other people there, but they were in the distance down the beach.
Looks like a fun day at the beach. Your husbands phone takes some good pictures. If you hadn’t mentioned it I never would have thought it was a camera phone.
Great shots! I love the beach any time of year.
That looks like fun. I love the dog footprints in the sand, and he doesn’t seem to mind the cold at all. Of course, neither do the kids! Here’s Mine
Wow, that is one big hunk of driftwood – looks like a whole tree! Great shots!
Yep, it pretty much was a whole tree! I’ve never given it much thought, having lived here my whole life, but we do have a lot of large driftwood (logs and stumps, etc.).
Wonderful shots! Loved those…
I love the beach no matter the weather. Looks like fun! At least you are able to bring your dog with you. There are no dogs allowed on our beach.
Love the pictures! The beach is my favorite place on earth. I wouldn’t have minded the cold since it’s usually so hot and humid where I live. Although.. it is rather chilly today, but should warm up as the day goes on.
I love the beach too, but it’s amazing how cold it gets at Oregon beaches, even in the summertime. I only have one or two memories of visiting an Oregon beach and not being bundled up.
I just love the beach…thanks for sharing these!
Love the beach!! Great pictures!
These are great. Looks like you all had a fun day.
I love the beach. It’s been ages since I’ve been–and I live only 40 miles away from the ocean! Beautiful photos, Alyce.
How nice to go to the beach in the winter…I would be cold and bundled up also! It looks like the boys and dog had fun!
I love the beach in the wintertime. Your husband’s phone takes really good pictures!
I love the pawprints in the sand in the picture of the dog. What a fun extra element.
That looks like a great day at the beach, and the cell phone pictures turned out good
I love the Oregon coast. The Oregon coast has my FAVORITE beaches in the whole world. Such character. I haven’t been in so long tho….(sigh) your pictures make me homesick. (We grew up in Washington, but always always went to Lincoln City, Newport–that area for vacations every year. And yes, phones take great pictures nowadays.
Beautiful photos, handsome boys, cute dog! I would love to live near the beach, even in the cold weather. This looks like a wonderful place to visit. I hope you all had fun!
Lovely photos! I think beaches are better in the winter, less crowds and more salty air

Nothing better than a day at the beach, even if it is cold!
Beautiful beach photos! I am participating for the very first time! Thanks for hosting this terrific meme, Alyce!

Hi Alyce (rhymes with peace!) … I found your neat photoshare via Debbie @ The Friday Friends. What a fun idea … so here I am!
I would love to go to the beach… Unfortunately you would freeze today!
I am always so slow getting my pictures up!
I am getting here a little late but will try to get around to others over the rest of the weekend.

Wonderful shots! By the sea is one of my favorite places to be. Looks like you had some fun!
I m very jealous about the whole beach trip after the dumping of snow we got yesterday. Lol. Great shots!
Seems like the boys weren’t that cold … I think I spy shorts there!
Shorts at the beach..I am so jealous! The beach is great in the winter. No crowds! Great pictures!
What a beautiful photo!
