An Unusually Glorious Sunrise
The sun rises from the east, right? The Pacific Ocean is off to the west.
Now I’ve lived through almost 23,000 sunrises and have never seen the rising sun impact the color of the ocean surf (or the Gulf of Mexico surf for that matter). I’ve seen it impact the color of the water at sunset but never at sunrise–until… Continue reading
Photos from the Woods and Pond
Here are a few photos of some of the woods and tall plants around the property.

Here are some photos of the tree that literally defies gravity. I think it’s an old growth Sitka Spruce, but I’m not 100% certain. Tree hugging Steve is in the… Continue reading
The Oregon Beaches along the Ocean
Literally, every evening we walk along the beach around sunset. It’s our moment of zen as we wait for the big move in day.
