Most of my travels are in Central America; if that's the blog you're looking for, here it is: Hopefulist in Latin America.

This is the blog for photos and reflections of my visits to other places, beginning in 2013. Previous blogs are linked on the main pages of my photo collections on flickr.

Central Oregon Coast 2021

Mike, Maple, and I had a blast on the Central Oregon coast, staying in South Beach State Park just south of Newport: great tidepooling, marsh and forest hikes, biking, beach time, great food, and the cool weather we've been craving. And we LOVELOVELOVE our comfy little Sol trailer. 



Lasagna, hummus, fresh veggies, home made bread



Maple and I were impressed by the quality of the campground art.




Crows calling to each other.


You can see this one's steamy breath. :-) 



The kite was a wedding gift from Mike's brother 41 years ago.




Part of the reason we love South Beach State Park - close proximity to THIS.
