“Stepping Stones”

Story:
Exposed stone at McPhillips Beach direct the eye toward Haystack Rock of Pacific City.

These stones, believe it or not, can become completely buried by sand within a year.

I’ve tried coming back to this exact same location just 5 months later to recreate this photograph under different conditions.

But they were nowhere to be found. Walking around in circles, the stones remained hidden under the sand.

Had I imagined things?

“Stepping Stones” was captured during the winter and so I suspect that another winter will reveal them once more. It reminds me of how quickly things can change:

‘Here today, gone tomorrow’. That’s life isn’t it?
