Hello, everyone!
It’s been too long since I’ve shared photos of the Oregon Coast. These were taken at Cannon Beach in February. I was socially distanced and was able to get some great photos. I hope you enjoy them!
Thank you for stopping by!

Florence, Oregon, is a small town on the Oregon Coast. It’s been a good 25 years or so since we’ve visited, so we thought it was time to check it out again. We’ve enjoyed some great seafood and walked along a beautiful beach in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. We’re staying in a riverfront hotel on the Siuslaw River, and today we spent a very pleasant afternoon walking through Old Town Florence. Florence is definitely worth a visit!
Back to work next week! New pumpkin design is finished except for the tendrils…so close!!!
Happy weekend, everyone!

Yesterday was opening day of the Dungeness Crab season on the Oregon Coast. We wandered around the Bayfront in Newport Sunday; crab pots were in abundance in anticipation of the day.
I loved seeing the colorful crab pots lined up everywhere:
What a great day at the Bayfront, with the sense of excitement and anticipation for this late season to start. Wish I had been there to see the boats come back in with their hauls!
This gull is not as cheeky as the parrot(s) in Michelle Weber’s original WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Cheeky post, but it still has its own measure of attitude. At the very least, this gull makes me smile.

Droplet. Seaside, Oregon. I hope you will enjoy this moment of visual serenity.

My husband and I took a day trip to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, a graceful historic lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. In particular, I admired the lovely, elegant windows.
As we walked around the structure, parallel windows on either side of a passageway caught my eye, and I attempted to capture the view of the sea on the other side.
The structure of this shell is fascinating to me, and beautiful. It leads me to dream of new knitting designs with cables and ribs and eyelets. Structure, the foundation of a pleasing photograph and a pleasing knit design – no wonder it catches my eye when I find it.

Drifters, nomads, and even the state of impermanence: this week, share your photos of transient. ~Andrea Badgley, The Daily Post.
A leaf, a literal drifter. On its way out to sea or working its way back to shore? Seen floating, lazily, in this inlet. Calm, mellow transient.
Playing around with depth of focus is always a lot of fun. While I would love to take a fabulous landscape photo with everything clear and in sharp focus, more often I enjoy switching to a more shallow depth of focus, with the foreground being the subject and the expected subject being blurred.
And a couple with greater depth of field:

This challenge really struck a chord with me. The evanescence – fleeting existence – of the tableaus I find on the beach is part of their charm and attraction for me. Here are a few more Oregon Coast still lifes:
