Just outside of Otter Rock. Was on an amazing van trip down the coast. My friend and I just pulled over to a lookout point, opened the side door and took this all in!
Faraway Friday-Oregon Coast

Come to Cape Flattery
Cape flattery is on the Makah Reservation and is at the very NW tip of the state of Washington. It overlooks the old lighthouse on its own island. They have nice boardwalks for most of the trail. And stunning views which you’ll see later this week. You must have a $25 yearly (calendar) pass to enter the tribal lands.
Wildlife Wednesday-Shakey Shakey
This was one of the “diver” bears. There was one family lineage that actually dive down, swim under water, and catch fish that way. Each time he finally came after 30 seconds or so, if he didn’t have a fish, he’d shake his head like a dog.
Sequim bay sunset
This has been an amazingly warm fall. It’s mid October and temps are still in the 50s with BEAUTIFUL sunsets and sunrises.
Bye Bye Birdie
This BEAUTIFUL Western Tanager and a few of his friends come to our area (and my bird feeders) each summer. The first time we saw one we thought somebodies exotic bird got loose it was so vibrant compared to all the other birds. They have flown south for the winter.
Ahhhh for LOVE
When my friend and I were hiking Sol Duc we saw this couple in wedding garb hiking the trail. I caught them at the Falls. I really liked this shot with her reaching out for him (right after her photographer had jus “fluffed” her dress)
If anyone knows who they are, I’d love to send them the photos.
Sol Duc Falls
Sol Duc Falls is only a 1.8 mile RT trail from the main parking lot. Not too much elevation climb. But then you are rewarded BIG TIME with a three horsetail falls with multiple view points. For this one I climbed out and down from the main trail.
Sol Duc has a hot springs and a lodge with little cabins for rent. It’s about 90 minutes from Sequim.
