Scenery to Take Your Breath Away

I always love to go to the coast, the views are spectacular, especially, when the day is sunny and clear. On this particular day, we stumbled across Anderson's viewpoint, where paragliders were jumping off the cliff down towards the beach below...very exciting!

We spent about a half hour enjoying the scenery, and of course, I took lots of photo's.

I loved the flowers shown below, even though they were now in a woody state.

Just look at that view!

Papa held Amelia up so that she could see better.

Happy together!

Next, we went to Cape Meares to see the lighthouse, one of many on the Oregon Coast.

The sky was so blue!

You may notice some of the glass panes in the lighthouse are broken. Earlier this year, two vandals in their early 20's shot at them, causing very expensive damage, and therefore making the top of the lighthouse unsafe for viewing!

Below is the view as we walked down towards the lighthouse.

Once inside, a tour guide shared his knowledge of the lighthouse, it was very interesting.


After the lighthouse, we did go on to other places, but I'll post about them next time.

What a great day!
