Coastal Trip



Haceta Head Lighthouse is one of the most famous/pictured lighthouses on the west coast. We had never made it far enough south on the coast to see it. However, it was worth the trip to Florence to see what is now my favorite lighthouse that we have visited.

The lighthouse itself is on the left of the picture while the lighthouse keeper's house is on the right. The house is now a bed and breakfast and has a beautiful lawn that hosts many weddings and other special occasions. I took this picture from an overlook a few miles down the road. We stopped to see the lighthouse and were treated to a couple of whales. OK, so we didn't see the whales themselves, just the spray.



This picture was taken on the rocks in Depoe Bay. Jenny and I enjoy this little town on the coast and did a little exploring this year. There were a bunch of fishermen on the rocks to the left. To the left, the water was calm but the ocean on the right had large waves that were crashing all along the rocks to our right.
