A Strange Fascination

Okay, okay I will admit to a strange fascination with the Pigeon Guillemot. It's got to be those bright red/orange feet that's turning me on. This is, once again, from our trip to the Oregon Coast this summer.

Day 314 It All Came Tumbling Down

This is an image from our trip to the Oregon Coast this summer. Oregon beaches have amazing rock formations. The last time we visited this particular beach, all those jagged rocks you see in the foreground formed an arch. It makes you feel small to see the remains scattered about.

A party on the beach was a great way to end the 13th annual Playgroup camp out in Astoria. I don't know which contains more sand, my shoes or this painting. :)

Fort Stevens State Park lies in the very tippy tip of northwest Oregon, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. You can check out old civil war era military bunkers here as well as pretty peak-a-boo water views like this.
