Photo Ops Along the Oregon Coast

October 13, 2016 by 31 Comments

Hope you have been enjoying the pictures from our trip out west. After exploring the waterfalls east of Portland, Oregon, and spending time with family and friends at my brother’s seaside wedding, we loaded into a 12-passenger van with Mr. Handsome’s parents, grandparents, and two youngest sisters and headed down the coast to San Francisco.

It was early October, and the weather was chilly (around 50 degrees Fahrenheit). There was rain in the forecast, but it always seemed to clear up just as we were pulling over to snap pictures
at lookout points or embark on a short hike. The ocean looked quite different than it does further south, but it was still beautiful.

 

You can see Heceta Head Lighthouse in the background at this lookout point. Mr. Handsome loved the view so much that he did a painting of it a few days after we returned home.

The coastal highway curves along the cliffs, providing a new, breathtaking view at every turn.

 

At one spot, we stopped and walked down to the shore, just as the sun was setting. It felt really strange being on a beach wearing heavy coats.

My sister-in-law Lena happened to climb up on a rock at just the right time for me to take this photo. Look at that spectacular sky!

We exhausted all the possible photo ops on that beach. Can’t wait to make a scrapbook!

 

These next two are my favorites. The originals were beautiful, but Mr. Handsome edited them to make them even more gorgeous.

 

Stay tuned for photos from the Redwoods, the California coast, and San Francisco!

      Thanks, Shela. I'm thinking it will probably be a shutterfly scrapbook.

    That area's getting slammed pretty hard with weather, isn't it? Back-to-back severe storms? Thought I heard something on the news…

      Yes, days of bad storms, with many thousands without power in the northwest. Winds 90mph and at least one tornado in Oregon. Lots of rain, with potential of mudslides. Remnants of a Pacific typhoon, I heard.
