Last week I was fortunate to spend some time in Astoria, Oregon. It’s a small port town on the Columbia River, near the Pacific Ocean. It’s a great place for great views, and here are a few that caught my eye:
May you enjoy the sights around you this week!

For this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, please post a photo that is unusual in some way for you, whether it be through technique, by subject, or in some other unique way. This theme is wide open to interpretation because only you know what is unusual to you.
Fungus. Fungus is definitely an unusual topic for me. But this fungus was so unusual and so compositionally interesting to me that I had to take a series of pictures.
Thanks for stopping by this week to check out what struck me as unusual. The other entries for this week’s photo challenge can be found here.
Collage: An assortment, a collection, a hodgepodge. This week, share one — whether found in the wild or assembled yourself. The Daily Post ~Michelle Weber
Yesterday I came across this collection of beachy material and snapped a few shots. No changes were made to the composition; this is exactly as the objects appeared in the wild. In the sense that hodgepodge is collage, I believe this fits this week’s challenge.
More pics, as promised, of the fabulous Oregon Coast – specifically, Newport.
I recently entered three photos in our local photography shop’s black and white photo contest. I didn’t win, but it did give me the idea for this post.
Enjoy that beautiful world out there!
Ornamental grasses strike me as elegant and graceful: swaying mildly in breezes, never clunky; softening hard edges through gentle curves of stem and plume.

Ambience is the atmosphere of one’s surrounding environment….Things like light, temperature, smell, sound, and sometimes taste, all work together to create ambience. ~The Daily Post, Jeff Golenski
The grounds at this restaurant create exceptional ambience. Yes, there is warmth and light, but the ocean right at its edge provided instant ambience for me.

Aaaaand…this song has been going around in my head ever since this photo challenge was announced. Did anyone else get this earworm?
