This sunset photo was taken from our deck at the lovely SeaQuest Inn (Oregon Coast)
The homeowner here in Portland was recently back for a couple of weeks between jobs, which allowed us to do some wandering (we do love to wander). Since attending WordCamp, I have been following The Daily Post, which has weekly photo challenges : ) When I read the latest challenge, I was taken back to this one particular evening along the Oregon Coast in Yachats. Sigh.
I will be posting a lot more photos as soon as I can. Our two weeks off were spent not only along the Oregon Coast, but in the Northern California Redwoods as well, and I did my best to capture some of the magic. What an amazing trip we had. What an amazing part of the world this Pacific Northwest is. So happy to be here!
I love the birds! Great picture 🙂
wonderful!
I also love design of your site.
Doesn’t get much better than that – the birds, the sun setting… Nicely captured.
Great photo, specially with the birds in the shot.
I too love the design/theme of your site!
The birds do add a great touch to the shot
I love the west coast, I have yet to see Oregon. I am usually in BC when I travel west.
The colours in your photo are so subtle and gentle and the birds flying past add to the mood. So peaceful.
a wonderful way to end the day! Was on a short vacation to the Oregon Coast in June, and we saw everything you have captured here – except for the sun. We had sand, ocean, birds, clouds….
Thank you for the reassurance that the sun really does shine here 🙂
(just kidding, I know it does)
I like how the clouds are all golden.
Lucky you to be in such a fabulous place and well shot!
Beautiful capture of a stunning sunset ….. visiting the Pacific Northwest is on my Bucket List!

this is one of the best sunset photos i’ve come across.
Love this photo. The tone and mood are so relaxing. Makes me want to be in the middle of it. : )
gorgeous sunset, birds, ocean. . .
Great colours, and I love the cloud.
V, I am finally catching up on you and am so happy to hear that you are so happy. It’s great that Portland agrees with you – it sounds wonderful. Haven’t called because I’ve been down and out. In the hospital again, 3rd time in the last 5 weeks. Long story but I haven’t talked much on the phone – too wiped out. Send me a nice long email.
Lots of love, Joyce
Joyce, it is so good to hear from you. I can’t wait for you to be out of that hospital for good and back in that beautiful cottage and garden of yours. I will write you a long, juicy letter ASAP! Not sure whether I am going to type it or hand-write it…so much to catch up on I just may type it so that you get it in the near-er future : ) Think about you all of the time and am ever amazed at your perseverance and your incredible way with words. Love.
Hey there. I am glad that you have really enjoyed your time in the Pacific Northwest. Love the photo as well. I look forward to following in your footsteps. By the way the blog is looking good. All of that WordPress learning you are getting. lol
Awe…thanks, Tonya. As you know, blogging can be a bit consuming all around and it is always nice to know when all of that time and effort is actually inspiring, educating, motivating, etc. etc. someone else. I love your blogs as well and am always inspired by the amount of research you put in and the amazing photos you take. xo
Wow ~ thanks for all of the comments! I’ve noticed that almost all of you are WordPress users ~ what a great community of bloggers : ) I am enjoying the Daily Post immensely. V
