I didn't want this month to end without adding a few more photos here; a somewhat random sampling of the last week or so, mostly at the coast.
A Bald Eagle!...sitting on the beach near Ocean Park, Washington; seeming to wait for the fisherman to throw something its way.
My favorite Oysterville garden; there are different things blooming at each spring and summer visit. This time the garden was full of Foxglove (
digitalis purpurea). Those tall stalks of flowers are really striking.
There were a lot of dogs hanging out at the Saturday Market in Ilwaco; I think Charlie took the prize for "coolest canine".
My friend, Cynthia, shopping for felted goods at the Market.
We picked up some fresh salmon for dinner, which Cynthia cooked perfectly. Yum!!
At home, the new sewing machine was given a first run on a quilt project.
I hope you are enjoying this season.
It's been a good summer for treasure hunting...this last weekend in Astoria, Oregon and on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington was some of the best. Art buddies Paula and Jan joined me this time for a little relaxation and fun at the coast. Our first stop was in Astoria where we visited several shops and galleries. And there were cupcakes, oh yes! But I think our favorite place in town was Dots 'N Doodles art supply store; amazing goods and the shop owners are beyond great!
There were several spots out on Long Beach Peninsula to find vintage goodies, including Raven's Haven and Nahcotta Antiques and Collectibles.
The weather was brilliant...these gulls were catching a few rays on Willapa Bay near Oysterville.
We looked on as bags of newly harvested oysters were unloaded at the dock.
We all agreed that this trip was a perfect way to spend one of our last summer weekends.
