Blue Heron taking off in Yachats, OR
We went to the coast last weekend to celebrate jwa’s birthday and here are some pictures. That’s about it. More food coming soon!
Heron before flight. We happened upon him just hanging out in the river bank. As more people started walking by he took off, flying a few yards away to a less congested spot.
We stayed in Yachats at the Shamrock Lodgettes (silly name) in one of the spa cottages. It was nice. Dinner was at Yachats River House (tasty) and the next morning we started a leisurely drive home along the coast from Yachats to Cannon Beach, then cutting inland on 26. But not before…Breakfast!
Egg, sausage and pesto panini sandwich from the Green Salmon Coffee House. But, it gets better…
Here’s the view! We got the sandwiches and fancy coffee drinks to go and then drove a couple of blocks to the ocean, parked the car and had an awesome breakfast.
A seagull hopped on the hood of my car to check us out. Actually, I was kind of concerned he was going to try and fly in my open window and steal my sandwich.
Me by the tide pools and rocky coast part.
Tide pools
Waves crashing
Coastal flowers that succumbed to the wind and cold
The long sandy beach at Rockaway Beach, during a stop along the drive home,
One day, it would be nice to have a cute, little place on the coast where we can go anytime we want and where I would have more wall space to hang more art… 🙂
We’re going to start exploring more coast areas…next up, I think we’ll head towards the Long Beach area of Washington and maybe drive up the peninsula.
