Spring into Summer

 

We spent Memorial Day Weekend on the Oregon Coast exploring the Bayocean and Netarts Spits, along with points in between. Click on Bayocean, and it will link to a brief PBS documentary about the area's fascinating history.  Emily, Fig and I previously visited this same spot back in March - those photos are linked here. 

Because we hiked to the tip of Netarts Spit during low tide, our google location made it look like we were in the water - see dot below.  In fact, we were standing where the next photo down was taken looking out to Three Arch Cape and the town of Oceanside.  Netarts Spit is also known as Sand Dollar Spit. We found 10 on our 10 mile hike.

Finally, here's a link to my growing collection of watercolor paintings, including some made by the kids and friends who have joined me in taking classes with watercolor artist, Peter O'Brien.
