Oregon Coast and Dunes!!

I love looking at the beautiful Oregon coast!!

It is so beautiful to look at the rugged rocks with the soothing movement of the water!!

I loved seeing the series of waves along the beach!!

I enjoyed simply watching the water move along the rocks!!

Charlene and I really enjoyed the views of the Oregon coast!!

The coast is so beautiful!!

It was memorizing to watch the waves!!

This was a spectacular lighthouse!!

The rocks and water were intense at times!!

I loved this view from near the lighthouse!!

The ocean spray was fun to watch!!

Our next adventure was to ride in dune buggies along the Oregon coast!! It was so incredibly fun!!

The scenery was wonderful to see as we zoomed through the sand!!

It was amazing to ride along the sand next to the Pacific Ocean!!

I loved seeing the ocean and sand!!

Everyone was excited to drive down this hill!!

Hold on to your hat as we roared along the beach!!

This girl thought see would go even faster and she zoomed past us!!

It was so much fun weaving our way through the sand roads!!

This was our companion dune buggy!!

This was a “tree island” in the midst of the sand dunes!!

We had so much fun riding all through the dunes!!

This was an incredibly fun and wild ride!!

Oregon!!

We arrived in Portland, Oregon and had the opportunity to see some of the roses growing in the city. Portland has a well-deserved reputation for being an ideal location for roses!

I loved the bright color of roses in the sunlight!!

I liked the morning dew shining in the sunlight on these roses!!

I absolutely love the colors of this rose!!

This orange rose was beautiful in the light!!

I enjoyed looking at these young roses!!

I loved the delicate rose petals in this yellow rose!!

This bee was certainly enjoying the roses too!!

The Yaquina Head lighthouse was beautiful!! Charlene sure enjoyed the area!!

The Yaquina Head Lighthouse is the tallest in Oregon!!

The circular stairs going up inside the lighthouse were quite interesting!!

The storm along the Oregon coast was interesting to watch!!

Charlene found found a fun otter to play with!!
