Location: Lincoln City Coast sitting on the beach facing the ocean, west
Temperature: started at~65, dropped about 10 degrees very quickly
As i sit looking at the ocean, i see huge creatures across the water. At first i couldn't tell what they were, especially being from a place where creatures like Seals aren't a common thing to see. Once they started moving around and making faint noises it occurred to me that they were in fact seals. They are huge creatures, which i never really knew. I always knew they were large but i didn't know they were THAT big. They are very interesting creatures to watch because they have to wiggle to get anywhere. There were so many of them, sprawled out along the coast, about 30 in total. They lay quite still for a while and then all of a sudden a group of about 5 started wiggling around creating chaos and disturbing the other resting seals. They settled down a few minutes later and they all lay still again. It became less thrilling after watching them for a little while so i started looking at other things that caught my eye.
At one point, the sky was a beautiful light blue. When we got there it was about 65 degrees and not much wind. But all of a sudden the sky turned completely gray in a matter of minutes. It dropped at least 10 degrees and the wind picked up. This not only made it cold but it also created the sand to blow everywhere. The sand was a very interesting texture. It was very thick, granular sand, which i am not used to either. It had all different colors to it as well and was very interesting to look at.
