It has taken me longer than a week to post the photos of our week-long vacation. Lest you think we were only in shops and gardens, and along the bay front, I am posting a series of ocean pictures that we took as we traveled up and down Highway 101. We are so blessed to have this lovely coastline within driving distance from home.
This is the Yaquina Bay lighthouse and still working with an electric revolving light. 
This is a 'blow-hole' created in the rocks. The water comes and goes, and when a large wave hits the hole this is the result. This time of year the waves are smaller, and the spray isn't quite as spectacular. But then you don't get wet from the spray as you take the photo : ) The sky was darker on this day, and the water again reflects the color of the sky. I love that. 
This photo of the insurance man is along the wall in Depot Bay. It was such a pretty day and the water reflects the color of the sky and sunshine!
Further down the coast there is a lighthouse and this is the house that was home for the family of the light-keeper. It is up a rather steep hill, so we didn't climb it, but took this photo from the parking lot. I am partial to large white houses, and the red roof adds to the ocean location. Doesn't that look like a fun place to live and grow up?
Along a short pathway from the house, this is the lighthouse. It is on a bluff overlooking the ocean, a perfect setting....at least in fair weather. We have visited most of the Lighthouses along our coast, but we have not been up to this one. I am saving it now for taking our grandgirls next time. Kory, did you notice? 
This photo is heading south out of Newport, a little south of Waldport. The insurance man explored the beach and rocks. I enjoyed the view of the waves and water. 
And finally a photo of one of the many fishing boats traveling and fishing up and down the coast. We enjoyed some salmon while there, but were informed that it was caught in Canada, as there will not be a salmon season this year. I guess we need to give it up for a season so that we can once again enjoy an abundance. For those of y0u that haven't been to the coast in a while, I hope you enjoyed seeing the lovely water and waves and rocks and you too will be able to enjoy it again soon.

Ben really loves the lighthouse. Sam shares your agreement about the reflection of light on the water. William wants to know if Papa found anything when he climbed on the rocks.
Thank you from all of us for the ocean pictures!!!
Julie and all
What beautiful pictures - we have been to some of these places too, along the Oregon Coast. Now that I am retired, we will be spending more time there - it's so relaxing! Have a great week,
