We ended 2012 as positively as possible by staying in Yachats, Oregon for a few days.
December 30: Evening walk before Kate, Jim (Maggie & Hobie), and Kim show up. A beautiful evening and sunset.
Gold!
Dave and Moby. Love the long reflections on the sand.
Sand texture
December 31: Rainy, windy and a rough day out at sea. Huge long swells coming in (a surfers dream).
Maggie waiting for Kate to pick up her frisbee.
Hobie and Moby having fun no matter what the weather happens to be.
January 1, 2013: A very cold morning. Great sky color!
Moon still in the sky…
A first for me: seeing the garage roof covered in ice.
Here’s to a great new year filled with much hope and promise!

Picture #5 is utterly charming 🙂
Thanks! It’s nice when the dog cooperates… and husbands too!
Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing!
No problem! I like to do it for my friends and family living outside the state. All you poor land locked folks! 🙂
Brilliant pictures. Made a mistake re-newing my lease here.
Ok, which here is “here”? Oregon or Japan?
These absolutely gorgeous photos just make me want to be there!! 🙂
Very different from your coastline! 🙂
I’m so glad to see you’re still out there.
Thanks! 🙂
Yes, very different to where I live, but very similar to Devon in the UK where I spent all my childhood holidays and still visit a lot as an adult, as I utterly love it!!
