Raymon and Kyle at the Coast

This is my grandson Raymon and his brother Kyle. These two high energy 10 year olds were the reason for my coast trip over the weekend. The two boys, my daughter, Christy, and I all had a lot of fun.

Raymon was an only child for a lot of years but when his dad remarried a few years ago he gained 2 sisters and 3 brothers. He loves being a part of this large family and especially loves his brother Kyle. They are best buddies as well as brothers.
They don't like to be called step-brothers. They are BROTHERS!

These two are such good kids and can be soooo funny at times. We laughed a lot. It was a good weekend.

Sunset Beach

The weather was perfect at the coast. A favorite stop along the coast loop near Coos Bay Oregon, is Sunset Beach. The island with the dead trees is the main landmark (or watermark?)at this beach. I have no idea what killed these trees but they have been this way as long as I remember.

The Power of Nature

We went to Bandon, Oregon yesterday. The ocean was rough and beautiful.

Scrapy Heron

I'm used to seeing herons looking sleek, prim and proper. I guess beach herons look more like beach bums... a bit scrapy and wind blown.



Another shot showing his friend


What you see in the water and on the rocks is not oil slick, but kelp.

Cape Perpetua

Another beautiful scene on the Oregon coast.



"Situated between Newport and Florence along Highway 101, Cape Perpetua continually draws visitors with incredible views, magnificent forests, and all-out beauty in many forms. Encompassing approximately 2700 acres of land, the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area boasts twice the botanical mass, per square acre, as the Amazon jungle in South America."

Oregon Coast.. wishing I was there

I was wishing I could head to the coast this weekend but I don't think its going to be so I dug out a photo from last summer.



I also discovered how to have larger photos on here. Instead of uploading this photo to Blogger, I uploaded it to Flickr and linked from there. This is cool and the Flickr account is free.
