The weather was pretty wet for most of my trip. I drove up to Pacific City but unfortunately it only let up long enough for me to take this shot. Once I got up on the dune, it was constant mist and wind that overpowered my umbrella and lens hood.
Haystack Rock near Cannon Beach, Oregon on a clear night with nearly full moon. Was a 30 second exposure, ISO 400, with a Panasonic DMC-FZ35 camera. The moon was to my left at this point. I particularly like the "dreamy" appearance of the surf, the stars, and the reflection of the clouds on the wet beach.
I'm not sure if this Puffin was yawning - last time I saw one in this pose (a year ago), it definitely was yawning.

I've always been intrigued by this small cave on the extreme northwest side of the rock (not to be confused with the large cave on the south to west side). This is as close as I've been able to get to it, and can't really tell how far in it goes. Does anyone out there know? I'm sure there must have been times when the sand has built up to it, but I've yet to see that happen.
I heard a loud rhythmic repetitive call a bit different from the usual "Mine! Mine! Mine!" of genus Larus (which was also hard to miss as it was going on constantly.) Apparently this is a different "mine, mine, mine" comment. He was calling continually. She may have interjected an occasional comment, hard to tell. Western Gulls.
At Haystack Rock in Canon Beach, on the Oregon Coast. I was kind of excited to spot the occasional "OSU" on a t-shirt out there, though they didn't look exactly scarlet. My husband pointed out to me they were actually orange and were for Oregon State U!

Carmen's red hat was a nice pop of color in pictures, so I ended up taking several shots with her in them.

This is Haystack Rock in Seaside, Oregon. It is one of the most recognizable features of Seaside. The 1985 movie The Goonies was filmed here at Seaside, and Haystack Rock is the scenery for the one of the final scenes. The beach is a very calm, and peaceful place, and if it is crowded, go to another place.
