We experienced a potpourri of sights and sounds as we progressed south toward our next night fall at Beverly Beach State Park. Wild flowers were everywhere and the rocky coastline titillated all the basic senses. wpe8D2.jpg (6414 bytes) wpe911.jpg (7914 bytes) wpe91B.jpg (6877 bytes)

I drove far into interior of Oregon from the coast and viewed close hand a lot of trees and the rain forest they reside in.  A lack of rain is creating some problems even in the lush surroundings.  I ran into much "clear-cur" forest which I have a continual problem with, and an 1812 lighthouse.

To follow is a series of picture composites that are in the must-see category

I rounded out the afternoon with a couple of pictures of small tidal pools where salt and algae had accumulated from the continuous wave action.   While the sun was setting in the west, the moon was rising in the east. wpe90C.jpg (8107 bytes) wpe90F.jpg (3629 bytes) wpe91C.jpg (1672 bytes)

The four year old survived the kids and crowds and we were both glad to escape the park the next morning.  Early in our travels this morning, we found a wise old tree at a scenic vista and photographed our shadows waving at us.

The Pacific coast provides an endless string of picture taking opportunities.  We did our share but couldn't begin to capture the overwhelming beauty of the shoreline. wpe8CF.jpg (5401 bytes) wpe8D0.jpg (6241 bytes)
