I was there in 1969. Being from south Texas I ran into the surf overjoyed to be out of the car and on the beach. Totally shocked how cold the water was. Much different than Mustang Island! We took shelter from the wind behind a HUGE driftwood tree. Built a small fire and had chili dogs. It was fantastic. I was 10.

Zion isn't really known for snow, or trees, but I was lucky enough to capture both in this photo. Living just outside the park, I've been able to experience the magic of winter here in the park. And if you know where to look, these crazy trees that are growing out of the rocks make for a stunning mid ground in your photos!

The beaches of the Pacific Coast, among other places, are littered with large logs. Sometimes the tide is such that it pulls these logs into the surf where they can knock down and crush unaware beachgoers. There are signs along the coast warning visitors, "Beach Logs Kill!" It's genetally more of a problem in areas with a densely forested coastline.
