I had forgotten Wyndham Hill. I’ve never forgotten the Oregon coast, or the drive up California’s “Lost Coast” highway and logging roads.

I’m a writer and I love my words, but a wise wordsmith knows when to be quiet and be refreshed.

A wonderful post.

I love Cannon Beach! So dramatic. My husband and I were there last year at about this time. In an interesting bout of timing, I’ll be in Oregon again next week on business, but I doubt I’ll get the opportunity to get over to the coast. Lovely pics!

It is truly one of my favorite places on earth. What part of Oregon are you coming to? I work in Portland and live near Salem, so having a surprise “blogger/coffee meet-up” isn’t out of the question…

This was an awesomely creative read/listen. I’ve never been to Oregon but it is on my list. I hope to make it there in the next couple of years. I only hear good things about it. Your post makes me want to visit even sooner!

I’m very glad you enjoyed it. I love Oregon, it’s a truly wonderful place to live, but I do enjoy the north coast more than any other part. I just wish I got over there more often.

Gorgeous pictures. I have several family members who live in Oregon (Redmond & John Day) and I’m always amazed by the outdoor pictures. What a beautiful place. (Oh, and the rocks in the water totally remind me of The Goonies).

I’m pretty sure you were “having me on” but just to be clear, Haystack Rock and The Needle are both on Cannon Beach. They were featured as a primary landmark in “The Goonies” and they are most definitely the rocks framed in the last picture.

Ah, the Oregon Coast. *sigh* That sunset is truly beautiful and lucky you for getting one without a ton of clouds! Nothing makes me miss home like seeing these kinds of shots. Gorgeous photos.

Thanks! Of the three nights on the coast, this was the only one with a decent sunset. It’s shots like these that keep me standing in the surf as the tide rolls in. I sacrificed a pair of flip flops to get that last shot. The tide came up over my ankles and rather than run for dry sand, I caught the reflection of the Canon Beach Sea Stack in the water as the wave receded.

Wow. Looking at the photographs (amazing, by the way!) I can just imagine that the music fit the moment to perfection. It was so pure it was breathtaking. All three of the songs were new to me, by the way, so thanks for sharing! Good stuff there all the way around. Find the Michael Hedges one with some decent sound quality. What that guy could make a guitar do is really unparalleled.
