Oregon Vacation Pictures: Part 1

[dukedogsmom]

I've got a lot of pics to put up so I thought today I'd mostly do the ocean. There are a few others thrown in. I've included a short video of the ocean and you can hear how hard the wind was blowing. It's so beautiful there! It was actually cold which was refreshing. I gave up trying to keep my hair combed while I was there a lot of the time because of the wind. But, I'll take the wind and the rain (didn't have any while I was there) over this horrible heat and humidity any day of the week. I had a wonderful time and miss Brian terribly. Hope you enjoy. I'll try to put up some more pics soon. I've got quite a few left.
This is Brian's dog Scooter. He's such a sweetie. It was hard to get a good pic of him since he's so dark.

Here's the coast

Here's some posts that are left over from a boardwalk. Knew this would look good in black and white.

Here they are in color

I loved the sun in this one

More coming...........

I like this one, too.


We went to the docks and I got to meet some of Richard's friends. Here is Molly, one of his friend's dogs. She was such a doll.

We went on a small boat and for the longest, Molly wouldn't come in. This is the view I got.

View of the harbor

Sleeping area in the boat. Isn't it cute?

Molly getting scratches from a friend. It sure looks like it feels good.

More coming

I liked the name of these two boats


Brian's friend's girlfriend works at a purse store. I saw this and loved it!

The only thing is, it wasn't a purse but a portable dog feeder.

I gutted it while I was at Brian's and am in the process of turning it into a purse. I've got some dog bone ribbon that I'm putting on the corners and will line it with some dog fabric. I can't wait to get it fixed.

That's all for now. I'll put up some more this weekend. It really is a beautiful area. I loved it.

Beautiful country there Valerie. I loved the beach & ocean pictures. Of
course, I loved the animal ones too. Heck, I liked them all. You have a
good eye for what makes a good photo.

My daughter is taking a job transfer and will be moving to Oregon soon.
I've never been there & don't know anyone else who has either.Did you
like any place in particular? What towns have you been too? Sorry for all
the questions.
