Stormy Weather

Not much beach-playing time on our visit to the Oregon Coast this year. Squalls and storms are prevailing. We still like the cooler weather and even feeling cold. We know at home in Boise it's hot and we'll be sweaty again Thursday night.

Haystack Rock and a Sea Garden

The "greenery" in front of Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach is called a sea garden. It's full of all sorts of creatures that I can't identify, along with ones I can - like starfish and mussels. Volunteers bring out education boards and put up sandwich boards letting people know what areas they should avoid walking on so creatures aren't damaged.
