Beachy weekend, day 3

A true work of art!
Our last morning at Cannon Beach was still cold and required a warm cup of coffee to be complete.  It was neither rainy nor windy, so our 2nd try at a morning beach walk was much more pleasant.
Chasing seagulls proved to be fun and rewarding.  However, they were surprisingly chill about being chased.

It's so much fun to have this as a photography subject, especially when she does not highly object.  Her smile is real; her adventurous, fun-loving heart is always "on"; her joyful spirit does not easily burn out.  There is a reason Tirzah and I are on our respective ends of the lens!







This time we actually made it out to Haystack Rock; but I must admit that Tirzah did reach the rock in the previous day's walk.








Cold, wet water; cold, wet sand...why not have cold, wet feet, too?!

By the time we had turned back from Haystack Rock (don't ask me why that is its name), the fog began to really sink in, surrounding the rocks and swallowing the trees.  As we got farther away from the rock, it became completely invisible with its new shield of fog.  It made quite a cool effect.







The camera was being very slow and frustrating, so we decided to see if we could get it to capture sand flying through the air.  Turns out that it worked...after a couple tries.





Then came time to go back home...to leave the Oregon state that I disapprove of and return to Washington state that is my pride...
