Peek a boo! Large waves today on the #southernoregoncoast, but we had bright blue sunny skies, crisp air, and no rain! Lovely day for a hike at #BastendorfBeach #photography #pnw #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Christmas in the City! I may be an Oregon Coast girl now, but I’m a San Francisco girl at heart, as I was born in Oakland and raised in “the City”, and truly, this is where my heart is ❤️ #photography #sanfrancisco #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #california

Tonight’s sunset was epic! Drove up to #FlorenceOR to check it out; I knew it was going to be amazing! Even the wildlife was enjoying the view 😊#photography #PNW #oregoncoast #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Took advantage of a break in the rain and cold for a nice long walk down #facerockbeach in #BandonOregon - an unseasonal 62, no wind, and bright sunny skies - I even got a sunburn 😂 Rain back again on Sunday 😔 #photography #PNW #southernoregon #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

“When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused.” – Rainer Maria Rilke #photography #oregoncoast #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Having fun while waiting for the sunset in #Bandon at #FaceRock 😁 #southernoregoncoast #PNW #photography #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

It was a spectacular sunset tonight at #facerock in #Bandon, the kind that makes your heart full and your soul smile 😊 #southernoregoncoast #PNW #photography #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

“An autumn forest is such a place that once entered you never look for the exit!” - Mehmet Murat ildan #photography #oregoncoast #shoreacres #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

There’s a particular tree I like to look through at #ShoreAcresStatePark because it’s thick branches frame the ocean perfectly, and sometimes I can catch a perfect drop of sap within the “frame”….but today, I found Jesus! 😂😂 #oregoncoast #PNW #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #photography

Took advantage of the break in rain today - a lovely 65 degrees here on the southern #oregoncoast, and what a lovely fall day it is! Sunshine, no wind, beautiful clouds, and the air smells wonderful! 😂 Happy weekend! 🥰 #photography #PNW #westcoastkin #eastcoastkin #shoreacresstatepark

Such a lovely fall day on the #southernoregoncoast! Took a drive down to Gold Beach, meandered thru Ophir and Port Orford, and even bought some cranberry jam at a fruit stand ❤️ #PNW #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #photography

This makes me giddy LOL Yes, it’s still early, but…🥳💙 #prop50 #california

I hate him so much #heslyingagain #60minutes

My daughter in law gave me some sourdough starter while I was down in TN, so I tried my hand at bread making. Can’t wait to see how this one turned out. It looks and smells good though; not bad for a first try (if I do say so myself 😅) Happy Halloween! 🎃

SpooOoOooOkyyy! Found this neat spiderweb on my jaunt the other day at Shore Acres - the web was almost jewel-like with the dew drops sparkling in the light against the fall colors. #photography #pnw #oregoncoast #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #webwednesday

Holy cow, what a beautiful sunrise this morning! Stopped at Starbucks on my way to an appt this morning and had to sidetrack to the pier to stop and enjoy this spectacular show - so pretty! 😍 #photography #pnw #oregoncoast #westcoastkin #eastcoastkin

NIGHT NIGHT LAKERS!! 😂😂💙💛

Mushroom Monday! 😂 there were so many after the rains this weekend; I even saw those Alice in Wonderland kind! 🍄 #pne #mushroommonday #oregoncoast #westcoastkin #eastcoastkin #shoreacres

Fall at #ShoreAcres! The sun decided to come out in full force today after a day of rain & oh did it smell good 😊 It was a bit chilly too, so the fall colors were really popping, and the mushrooms were everywhere! #photography #pnw #oregonsouthcoast #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

IM A GRAMMA!! Ok, it’s my 7th 😂but omg she is sooo precious & her name is Emerson & came in at a perfect 8 lbs 1oz and the whole fam damily is just beyond happy she’s here! Mom and baby are doing great, and Nana (me) was bawling like a baby on the freeway at these pics 😂 Happy Born Day, Emerson! 🥰

Visiting fam near Memphis and went to a fun little farm stand today with all the fall stuffs! 🍂🍁🎃👻 #photography #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #tennessee #fall #farmstands

Watching each boat of the Freedom Flotilla getting intercepted one by one. It's disheartening, but it must be viewed by as many people as possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEN2...

RIP Jane Goodall, an amazing woman who did all the good. 💔

77 deg today! So I drove 90 mins north to a waterfall trail I’ve never been - Sweet Creek Falls by Mapleton, OR. It was amazing! Lots of mushrooms, mossy trees, & of course, beautiful waterfalls. #photography #pnw #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #oregon #waterfalls

Happy First Day of Fall, y’all! 🍁🍂🍃❤️ #photography #pnw #oregoncoast #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #fungusamongus

The pilings at #SouthSloughReserve near #Bandon #Oregon #photography #PNW #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Absolutely beautiful last Saturday of summer out here on the #oregoncoast. Took a much needed meditative saunter in the #SouthSloughReserve today among the fungi and birds and squirrels - it smelled wonderful! #photography #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #PNW

The leaves are falling all around, time I was on my way Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay…(Bye, summer!) #photography #pnw #oregoncoast #tugmanstateparkeellake #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #ledzeppelin

Came across a buzzard eating a weasel today, its teeth bared & its paws curled in grim defiance of its fate. The buzzard flew up on a pylon & eyed me wearily. I wasn’t interested in his grub, only this bottle & the possibility of a message inside #photography #eastcoastkin #oregoncoast #westcoastkin

Messin around with a glass ball while hiking at #CapeArago, taking advantage of the last days of summer 😊 #photography #pnw #oregoncoast #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Happy Friday! It’s overcast today here on the Oregon Coast and I’m already missing our sunny days! #photography #flowerfriday #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #oregoncoast

Interesting drop of sap I found on my sunset excursion 🥰 #photography #oregoncoast #pnw #westcoastkin #eastcoastkin

Another beautiful end to another beautiful day here on the #oregoncoast #photography #pnw #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Really enjoying these last sunsets of summer - it has been SOOO beautiful here on the Oregon coast! Every day has been around 70 degrees w/ little to no wind - I’m excited for fall, but today, I’m enjoying the here and now. #photography #oregoncoast #pnw #eastcoastkin #shoreacres #westcoastkin

Last minute decision to run out to my favorite trail to catch the sunset, because why not? #photography #pnw #Oregoncoast #westcoastkin #westcoastkin #shoreacres

A bird soars high in a bright blue sky, a gentle breeze heavy with the scent of pine & sea. Crows & sparrows chattering near by, seals & surf roaring in the distance. My senses are aware & calm; this is my zen. #photography #pnw #shoreacres #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Shinrin-yoku is a Japanese term that started in 1982 that translates to "forest bath." It refers to the practice of immersing yourself in the calming environment of a forest to promote relaxation & a sense of well-being. #photography #oregoncoast #PNW #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #shoreacres

It was a warm 74 in Coos Bay but a cool 58 in #Bandon & lots of fog but still a very lovely day for a lil stroll with the birdies at one of my favorite places - #FaceRock. This time I walked down the beach then back to the lot through the neighborhood😊 #photography #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

What better way to spend a 68deg day than at a waterfall - #GoldenandSilverWaterfallsStatePark never disappoints! I not only saw this gorgeous #waterfall, I saw a snake, deer, wild cukes & a HUMONGOUS beetle. It was a whole party! 🎉 😂 #photography #PNW #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #southcoastoregon

This isn’t something I’ve seen before! I usually see these guys hugged up on rocks with their anemone friends, but today they were sunning themselves on the beach, so we chatted & took selfies before I moved on ☺️❤️#photography #beachscape #PNW #bandon #facerock #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Another beautiful day on the southern Oregon coast! Today I headed to my usual spot but I found a new (to me) trail! No tourists, easy parking, beautiful views. What more can you ask for? ☺️ Have a great weekend! ❤️ #photography #PNW #yoakampointstatepark #capearago #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

I saw this on IG and thought it wasn’t surprising but fact-checked it anyway…and guess what?! It’s all true!! From the campaign contributions to the Epstein friendship…sofa king gross. They don’t even try and hide it anymore, they really think they all above the law, don’t they?!

Now Ozzy!! I’m shook.

After a week with a really bad cold (thank you fellow airline passenger 😡), I finally got to get out today and enjoy some nice weather in #Bandon at #facerock for a nice long stroll at low tide. #photography #PNW #beachscape #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #oregonsouthcoast

Another gorgeous day on the #southernOregoncoast! This morning I headed down to Whiskey Run, which is my favorite place to find cool agates. I found a tiny sand dollar! It was foggy but decently warm & gorgeous as always 😊 #photography #PNW #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #bandonoregon #whiskeyrun

We are having such beautiful weather on the #southernoregoncoast, so I took a nice long jaunt out on #CapeArago this morning. The views were stunning! It even smelled nice! 😊 #photography #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #PNW
