Its late at night, you are restless, can’t sleep. A walk on the beach seems like a fine idea. No one is around. Just the sounds of the waves and the wind. The lonely wail of an offshore buoy, consistent and haunting. / You hear the sounds of your feet as you walk through the sand toward the path to the beach. / Nearing the path you wonder if it was such a good idea to walk out here alone at night. You hear rustling, the wind, you wonder? The buoy, beating it’s tune to the rhythm of the waves. A fog rolling in, brings a feel of unease to you. Looking down the path you wonder. Should I go? What was that sound? You strain to hear, but the sound of the waves and the wind leave you wondering if you really heard anything at all. And suddenly, the hairs on your arms rise….....
Yaquina Head Lighthouse waiting in the gathering fog as the sun sets over Cobble Beach in Oregon. One Light handing the job of illumination off to another.
I was very lucky to be on the Oregon coast when the moon set before the sun rose. The only light was provided by the moon and the required long exposures also provided the silky effect on the water.
A seastack along the Oregon coast near Bandon with just enough sunset color to resemble a Halo ringing the top of this jagged rock spire on the beach near Face Rock.

Infrared image taken on the Oregon Coast.
Shot at Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, OR. It was a misty evening and the people were moving through the fog to get to this very large rock looming up and out of the ocean. From a distance…they all looked like shadows in some kind of a trance making their way.. slowly towards a goal. It was as if the rock was calling to them…as if it had it’s own siren’s song with a promise of something needed…maybe spiritual healing…or inner peace? – Most likely, and in reality, what they all probably needed was a nice photo to take home from their travels. But, I choose to believe the other…I like inner-peace :) The title of this photograph was taken from a Peter Gabriel song “Come Talk to Me” which kept playing over and over in my head as I worked on it. I thought it appropriate. :) -
I was on the beach near my home in Oregon. I heard a crashing wave to my right, turned, pointed the camera at arms length, and snapped the shutter….this image is a gift from the universe.

This award winning photo was my own personal choice for the place of honor in our home: above the hearth. The photo was taken on a still, misty morning near Port Orford, Oregon, of a man walking his dog on the boulder strewn beach, with the hazy coastal mountains rising up in the background. It’s hard to imagine that it could get any more peaceful and inspiring than this, isn’t it? (Nikon D200, Nikkor DX 18-70 mm 3.5-4.5 ED Lens, Settings f/13.0, 1/640th, ISO 320, 70 mm)
otherwise known as… Parley Cove ;) My husband and I travel to Cannon Beach every year, and I have been going since I was 16. I’ve always wished I could see a pirate ship sailing through the waters there…or anchored just off shore. And now, I have! ;)
Oshie, a rescue dog, checks out the beach during a beautiful sunrise on the beach in Port Orford, Oregon. Oshie is a shepherd mix who loves to run on the beach… and roll in unidentifiable dead things that she finds. She somehow became unwanted by her former owner when she was only about a year old. Yet she is such a wonderful dog! Nikon D200 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom lens at 18mm. 1/60th, f/4.0, ISO250 Added to the RedBubble Featured Gallery 08-Feb-2009

Beginning in January 1881, the Mary D. Hume hauled goods between the Rogue River (Gold Beach, Oregon) and San Francisco for ten years. She then started her service as an arctic whaling ship. She was run aground countless times and even sank in Alaskan waters in the ice of Nushagak River and was raised and repaired in Seattle in 1904. She also recorded the longest whaling voyage of six and a half years! The Mary D Hume was named after the wife of the original owner after he purchased the boat in 1881. The Mary D Hume is also credited with the largest catch of baleen whale in history, valued at $400,000, after a 29 month voyage! In 1978, after the longest Pacific coastal service of any boat, The Mary D Hume motored back between the jetties in Gold Beach and was given to the Curry County Historical Society. Crowds lined the banks of the river and cheered as she came in, and she was entered on the National Register of Historical places. This historic vessel is not being preserved in its final resting place along the banks of the Rogue River in Gold Beach. Everything seemed to go wrong after the Mary D Hume was turned over to the Historic Society. It took seven years to rig a sling. When they tried to lift her out for repairs the sling broke. Then the slings structure failed and the boat fell and sank in four feet of water. And there she still remains, being rapidly destroyed by the harsh coastal weather, the swift ocean tides, and the destructive currents of the large river.

These two seastacks just south of Haystack rock are known as the “Haystack Needles.” This picture was taken just as the sun dipped beneath the horizon. As the tide retreated and left a thin layer of water, I was able to capture this reflection in the beach. Cannon Beach, a city in Clatsop County, Oregon, United States, is an tourist resort destination, popular in Pacific Northwest located on highway 101. In 1846, a cannon from the US Navy schooner Shark washed ashore just north of Arch Cape, a few miles to the south of Elk Creek, the current Cannon Beach. The schooner was wrecked while attempting to cross the Columbia Bar, also known as the “Graveyard of the Pacific” because of the danger of the bar. The beach was renamed “Cannon Beach.”

Cannon Beach, Oregon / 4 Oct 09 Nikon D80 As a fellow photographer I wanted to be patient while they got the shots they wanted, but I’m not patient by nature so in the mean time I photographed them as well as the scenery!
