Picture Perfect Day at the Beach!


Bill and I could not stay away from the beach on such as beautiful day as today. We drove south on I-5 and headed toward Corvallis and then Newport. From there we drove to Waldport. We saw this nest with two Bald Eagles just before Waldport.

























The Waldport Bridge is always an impressive sight. It used to have 3 arches before this new bridge was built. My sister and I recently learned from our Mom that she crept up and over one of the arches as a teenager!

The seals in the bay are always curious.



We stopped at the Rock Creek viewpoint to enjoy the sun and to watch the waves.





It is difficult to capture the beauty and power of the ocean!


The colors today were spectacular!




Bill enjoyed a little
R & R.











We stopped in Depot Bay as we continued north, and I tried to capture some more waves.



Before leaving Lincoln City, we stopped at the beach at Road's End.







I couldn't resist capturing a few more waves. The light was lower in the sky, so the colors were less vibrant.


You have to click on this picture to see it larger in order to really appreciate it :-).


Our last stop before returning home was Neskowin. We stopped at this marsh on the right side of the road just before entering the town. The reflections were like a painting!

We had dinner in Neskowin which was a nice end to a perfect day.

Looks like a PERFECT day on the beach! Oh, how I miss the Oregon coast. It's pretty much paradise! I'm so glad I found your blog! Now we can keep even better in touch!

Thanks for sharing. I miss the Oregon Coast so much. Hope to be able to spend many days there in the future but for now it's the desert for me!

I am always stunned at your ability with the camera. You see the beauty in everything and then capture just the right part of it to save. Such amazing talent!
