| We had a much-needed vacation to Long Beach. I know what you're thinking, 'the beach in November, are you insane?' Despite your misgivings it was awesome... |
 |
| We walked the beach during those all-too-brief respites between angry Pacific storm fronts... |
 |
| For your enjoyment, the Long Beach peninsula has a great beachfront trail system... |
 |
| On occasion the weather was spectacular... |
 |
| I discovered that beach art comes in many forms... |
 |
| This beach was made for walking... |
 |
| A driftwood masterpiece... |
 |
| I don't really know why we're so drawn to the beach. We just are and we're not going to try and fight it... |
 |
| It really is the world's longest beach, honest. Although Google disagrees, the Long Beach chamber of commerce swears it is... |
 |
| Sandpiper parade... |
 |
| Follow that gull... |
 |
| I get the feeling we are being followed... |
 |
| A pair of feathered sentinels that foreshadowed an sudden intense squall that soaked us through... |
 |
| The wind and the grass create a very cool brush stroke-like effect in the sands... |
 |
| Those crazy birds again, we can't lose them... |
 |
| Long Beach was truly amazing, but now we are off to Depoe Bay, Oregon... |
 |
| High tide in Depoe Bay... |
 |
| What can you say, but wow... |
 |
| The room with one hell of a view... |
 |
| The Oregon coast is actually more spectacular when the weather sucks... |
 |
| A tiny, little park in Depoe Bay you would have missed if you were in a car... |
 |
| The Devil's |
 |
| Whatchoo lookin' at? |
 |
| Intrepid November surfers on Beverly Beach... |
 |
| Something tells me they're not as cute and cuddly as they appear... |
 |
| A great trip overall, it's too bad we have to return to that other, shall we say, less tranquil reality... |
