Coastal Walk

Road Trip!

We spent part of Saturday afternoon at the coast in Florence, Oregon.  

We started out  just past the Oregon Dunes Recreational Area at the South Jetty of the Siuslaw River.

 

I was surprised to see a ground squirrel there.

Lots of Pearly Everlasting.

Not sure what this is.

Gentle dunes merging into the shore line.

Windy, sunny at 65f - typical Oregon summer coastal weather.

Gull and Brown Pelican

Crab minus legs

The tide was coming in.

Lots of shells whole and broken.

And lots of bird action along the jetty as the Siuslaw River met the Pacific Ocean.

Brown Pelican.
