 1 Why not start of the slides with a sea lion from Stan's place. Calm wind allows us to full experience how bad they can smell. |
 2 Agate Beach was quiet and calm. Yaquina Head and light in the distance. |
 3 Agate Beach always has interesting wind sculpting. |
 4 November sunset, the first of six we'd see this trip. Inconceivable! |
 5 Thanksgiving morning full moon set. |
 6 Another view as dawn approaches and thoughts turn to pumpkin pie... |
 7 I've taken this shot dozens of times, but it's just a spectacular day for late November... so here's another. |
 8 It's rare to get November morning sunshine to highlight the copper reflector |
 9 Thanksgiving morning ascent of Salal Hill. Remarkable that we had the entire place to ourselves. |
 10 Cobble Beach is known for the sound of the wave-tumbled basalt stones. |
 11 Quarry cove was quiet, but a few seals bottle-nosed and hung out with us. |
 12 1st post-Thanksgiving dinner photo at Cape Kiwanda. Too full to lift camera... |
 13 Yvonne catches the sunshine in her golden hair as we walk off Thanksgiving dinner... or at least try. |
 14 Full moon brings very low tides. I ate too much. |
 15 A trip down to the Hecta Head light. A new spot to frame the scene from the keeper's house. |
 16 Dropping down off Heceta Head provides a nice view of Heceta Beach near Florence. |
 17 Shore birds scurry. Western Sandpipers wearing their winter plumage. |
 18 Yvonne in her favorite place: any beach. Heceta Beach, Florence, OR. |
 19 Yaquina Bay Bridge, Newport, OR. |
 20 Yvonne and I do a long Beverly and Moolack beach walk. |
 21 Moolack Beach black & white. |
 22 Another, with more detail of Yaquina Head. |
 23 Turn-around point at the Beverly Beach campground (under US 101). |
 24 Afternoons spent out on our deck watching for whales and sea lions. |
 25 Bigger surf on our last day, with a stiff easterly wind to whip spray off the waves. |
 26 Another climb of Salal Hill, looking north toward Moolack and Beverly Beach. |
 27 The stink eye tells us we've had a nice trip, but "you must go now". Thanks for looking. |
