Yaquina Head Lighthouse

I was reading an online blog from Laurie Excell yesterday (http://laurieexcell.com/) and read about her relaxing day along the Oregon coast. She & her mother visited Yaquina Head Lighthouse and took a number of photographs. Laurie is a well renowned professional wildlife & nature photographer based close to me in Tigard, OR. After seeing the alluring lighthouse photos I decided to see if I could do as well as Laurie so I packed up two cameras & my tripod and headed for the coast this morning. It's a 115 mile drive one way to Newport, OR where you can find Yaquina Head Lighthouse. I had no problem doing so.

It's beautiful! There are plenty of open fields of grass & wildflowers surrounding the area as well as cliffs filled with sea-lions and seagulls. What a postcard opportunity! I really like this shot of that lighthouse.

Meg looking at the second pic that Bob posted, it wouldn't take you long to give Chloe a quick walk round the block, would it!

I had to wait for workers to finish weed whacking that grass you see on the path. There were two of them trying their best to hurry. That's why you see the front lawn appear freshly mowed.

That was good of them to tidy up the path for your photo shoot, Bob!

Lovely picture Bob. Lighthouses are so impressive, I'm not sure about living there though Meg! Where are the windows?
