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:

  • Geese and goslings
  • Blue Heron
  • Blue Heron
  • Bridge Reflection
  • Coast Guard
  • Delapidated Pier
  • Astoria Sunset
  • Astoria Sunset 2

May you enjoy the sights around you this week!

Not only was finding this marina a treasure, but the serene calm of the water with its beautiful reflective quality was the detail that made my heart sing.
