my travelling shoes on i have headed west again...it's so easy for this easterner to understand why so many choose to live here.
the weather on the southern oregon coast was nothing short of a blessing. while others around us were experience extreme cold, high winds and snow and ice, there was apparently a bubble over us creating the most amazing sunny days and cool nights. the only clue to just how cool were the frosted ferns in the morning light.
how nice to be with people who didn't care if i didn't clean up after myself.....
who put on their dancing shoes and sang and danced and laughed....
howled at the moon......(or at the very least of it took about 300 pictures of it)
who explored the surface as well as digging deeply.....
and even found time to sleep on occassion.
i am renewed beyond all imagination....my blessings are many and my light is shining brightly.

The south coast is magical-- it is our muse. We moved here last year to make art full time and we feel very blessed for the beauty that envelops us everyday. These are gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing. : )

You are a beautiful young lady. The picture of all of the heart shaped rocks on the beach has much meaing to me. I have tons of them. My husband says you don't need amymore rocks! And I continue to collect them. For me, It is The Lord letting me know that He Loves me!
be blessed.
