Along the beautiful Oregon Coast
Where I grew up...
 |
| I've had a wonderful few days visiting one of my favorite places in the whole wide world. This little cove is called "Boiler Bay". In the wintertime it's a boiling cauldron of white froth and waves that seem a mile high. |
Please turn the volume all the way down...
The strong winds sound awful!
 |
| Looking south toward "Yaquina Head Lighthouse". As a teenager I used to spend the entire day on a Saturday strolling along the water's edge. |
 |
| "Yaquina Bay Bridge" built in the 1930s. It's on the National Registry of Historic Places. It's Art Deco and Gothic design is stunning. |
 |
| As far as the east is from the west the north from the south.... "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, If I settle on the far side of the sea, Even there your hand will hold me fast. Your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; The night will shine like the day, for the darkness is as light to you." Psalm 139:7-16 |
 |
| Beautiful Yet Treacherous Pacific Coast of Oregon Brave hearted fishermen earn a living fishing for crab, salmon and tuna. I'd like to dedicate this mural to "Gustolph "Gus" Wagner" who perished at sea in 1962. He was my Sunday School teacher's loving husband. |
 |
| Along the waterfront are many beautiful murals painted by Oregon artist Rick Chambers. |

We are hoping to do a western USA tour when my hubby retires in a few years and all I see of the Oregon coast makes me want to visit! That bridge looks amazing and so does the bay. I can see why you would spend a day here. Visiting from Claudia's party. Linda
What a stunning coastline Oregon has! I've never been there but every time I see a photo of its glory, I want to visit. I can see why this is such a beautiful place to you.
Thanks so much for joining in this week!

The Oregan coast appears to be lovely!! I've always wanted to visit the Washington State and Oregan coast!! I've always heard how lovely it is!
Hi, I came over from Sunny Simple Sunday and loved seeing the video of the coast and sharing your memories Have a blessed Sunday Joan
what a beautiful place to be! great photos / I loved the tour! :)
I love Oregon. Have only been to the coast once as my family lives inland. Looks so beautiful. You are a lucky gal to live up there. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Years ago I spent part of my Fall in Washington State. You're photos remind me of their coast. Wonderful country!
Thank you so much for sharing. Your pictures are beautiful. I just love the beach but here they are not so pretty you can not see your feet at all.
Hugs

I would love to someday visit the Oregon coast. Stopped by from Sunny Simple!
I went to high school in Oregon. The whole state is beautiful!
What a beautiful post! I enjoyed my virtual field trip to the Oregon Coast! I have never been to Oregon, but did spend several years of my childhood on the coast of Maine. Visiting from A Favorite Thing Saturday and am your newest follower. Hope you have time to stop by Still Woods Farmhouse for a visit!
I have never been to Oregon. I can see that I need to get there! What gorgeous photos! And your whole blog is beautiful. Thanks for stopping in at Cranberry Morning! I am your newest follower. :-)
What gorgeous scenery!

I love the central Oregon coast too! My Brother in law (who lives in Australia has a house at Bayshore (Waldport) and we use it often. Managed to get over there a couple times to enjoy this fabulous fall weather! I couldn't fnd on your blog where you are now in the PNW, but I am located in Sublimity which is about 15 miles SE of Salem off hwy 22. Following your blog now...trying to get back into blogging, I have been hanging out on facebook way too much!
Carolynn,
Those pictures are so beautiful. We have so many wonderful things in this world to enjoy. I have to remind myself to get outside more and just enjoy what Mother Nature has for me.
Thanks for stopping by and giving me encouragement that I am on the right track with my color selection, etc. I'm trying to use scraps and not cut into yardage but haven't been completely successful. I just hate when I feel like things don't work together. I can't do it. Maybe someday I'll just do a real scrap quilt, but I think it will drive me crazy!
Hugs,
Julie
What a beautiful coastline! Thank you for sharing it at Home Sweet Home!

Hello Miz Caroline!
How are you, you have been busy I see. What a nice trip to the coast, for me too, I appreciated the video and all the photos of places I love.
I went to see you on flickr, and went to your profile to link to here, but it did not work....you may have to redo it. anyhow, I was just thinking of you. All is well here, I spend many hours at the nursing home with Mom,,,she is hanging in there. We are getting cooler weather, jacket weather! Yea!
Love and hugs
Marcie
Wow! What a stunning place. How wonderful to grow up there!! Please come and visit and hopefully follow me at Pinehurst Cottage. Come follow us on our journey in finding a vacation cottage and seeing through the renovation of it with us! I'd love to have your input. I'm a follower of you too! ~Amy
That is just breath taking I have never been to Oregon! It's so fun to revisit your childhood what a flood of memories and they all seem to be good memories, ah easier times
