Weekend at the Beach

We had a very relaxing weekend in the sun at Pacific City. I am too absorbed in the Inauguration to write much about it, so here are a few photos.

Sunset on out first night

Sunrise on our first morning

Mouth of Sand Lake, where we survey beached seabirds

A huge beached moon jelly

A smaller sea nettle

Winter surfing near Haystack Rock

Ziak Wildlife Refuge, full of ducks and coots

Blind Slough, where we saw a group of western grebes and an orange-crowned warbler, rarely seen wintering here.

Here's to a day of unbridled optimism!
