Vacation to Oregon Coast

Even photographers go on vacation, although they refuse to go anywhere that's not scenic. Of course, when you're a photographer, EVERYWHERE is scenic....!! So, over spring break we took a little car trip to Florence, Oregon to see good friends Linda and David. Despite a gloomy forecast, the weather cooperated and we had a wonderful time. Linda has a "Maine Coon" cat which is schizophrenic -- one moment it purrs contentedly -- the next, it inexplicably shrieks in rage and tries to kill you.

The Oregon coast is rugged and beautiful and I could have spent days just photographing the dunes.

My daughter loves the ocean madly and runs headlong into it, heedless of the frigid water. I cradle my precious Nikons and keep back a safe distance from the "sneaker" waves!
