WW: A Day in Cannon Beach

Wordless Wednesday – late in the day, but nevertheless…

Right now there is talk of snow – here in the Willamette Valley and at the Coast – which is pretty exciting for us, as we don’t experience many snowstorms, or even snowfalls.

These pictures, though, were taken in October when I spent a few days in Seaside, with a day trip to Cannon Beach. Here are some views that caught my eye.

Wordless Wednesday: Evening Sky

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.   ~Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
