March Storm in like a Lion

 Huge storm last night and today. Hurricane force winds   ( well  so they said on the Weather Network), just slammed into our part of the island.  There must have been a foot of snow last night, followed by rain, and lots of it, followed by ice pellets, and ending with the wind.
This is looking across from the Big Island to the lighthouse at Quadra Island. Telephoto lens works great.  Some day will have to get me an even bigger lens, but for now it's just great.

            Looking back along the coast line to Flannel City  ( sorry, can't resist calling it that). 
 Surging ocean, throwing up logs onto the beach and turn about. . Could practically taste the salt spray as it  slashed it's way over the rocks and logs.  Wind was so strong, hard to stand up.....
                                                          Surf  and lots of it......
        Looking out past the end of Quadra Island with the Coast Mountains in the distance.
                                 Lone seagull wafts its way past the rocks and logs.....
                                                 Over the never ending surf......
                                                         Into the wind..................
           And he makes it......................Maybe March will go out like a lamb.......one can only hope.....
