Ocean & Beaches

Another evening in Yachats, enjoying the waves as they crash into the rocky shore.

Into the Rocks

The sound, the smell, the feel of that mist in your air as you sit on the ledge with these waves crashing at your feet.... a feeling that just cleanses the mind and brings peace to my soul.

Alone in the Ocean

These haystacks along the Oregon Coast are simply mesmerizing to me! The amount of wildlife that utilize them in their environment, to just the sheer vastness of them rising above the ocean waves. Truly a site to see.

Perfect Timing

Sometimes finding that perfect sunset shot takes the perfect timing. We had headed down the coast further south originally planning to stay for sunset at a new location. As that didn't pan out, we regrouped with just 45 minutes to spare. That spontonaeouty brought us here... and it was one magnificent sunset just standing on this beach, soaking up the last of the daylight this world had to offer us.

Crashing Into Your Soul

The sound of the crashing waves shakes you to your core. Near Yachats, Oregon. A beautiful day in October, fall temperatures in the air, whale watching season in full swing, it's a magical place.

Goodnight to the world. Moment of beauty from mother nature.

Watching the sun slide from behind the clouds, to cross behind the horizon. Another day lived.

This sunset in Yachats, Oregon was absolutely stunning. My recent trips to this same location have not produced nearly as gorgeous a sunset, so I often look back at this 2013 trip. Hoping to have another beautiful sunset trip to this location next year!

A foggy day on the coast of Oregon can present you with an array of different colors depending on so much, and it can seem to vary from one storm to the next. It's one of the amazing wonders of the Oregon coast, and the nature mother naure provides us. This overlook is from Ecola State Park, overlooking Cannon Beach shoreline. Off in the distance you can see Haystack Rock!
