South Beach

Last Monday Barbara and I arrived at South Beach Oregon for a three week stay.  On Tuesday I took a hike on the beach.  It felt good to be with the ocean again.  I always enjoy hiking along the beach.  To me the ocean is a wonderful combination of power and beauty but at the same time the sound of the waves crashing along the shore, are very calming.  In addition, you never know what wildlife you might encounter.  The last time we were here I hiked north, almost to the town of Newport, and stumbled upon two Bald Eagles.  That was amazing!

Since Tuesday it has rained almost continuously, but the rain stopped yesterday afternoon.  This morning the sun played hide and seek behind the clouds, so I decided to take another hike along the beach.  The surf was high, and it appeared that the tide came way in last night right up to the base of the cliffs.  As usual I took photos of my adventures.  Take a look!
