The gardens were open today for unlimited wandering, which I adored! All rhododendri, except for a trillium, a narcissus, and a flowering maple tree. =)

Yachats Blues
A surprise sunny early evening at Yachats River Beach...
Ancient tree stump emerging from the scoured sands
A gull flying off to dinner
Some greens, too
A boy, and rocks, and water
Light skating off still pools
River gold
Mossy canyon
Perfect beach

Storm Lull
'Twas a dark and stormy afternoon (after a night of 70+ mph wind gusts, 40 mph sustained)...
(that's sand, not mist)
A touch windy
Crashers & Splashers
Little birds all in a row
Little birds all in a blow
Sand dollar find, and ink on nose...
10 minutes after we left the beach, the rain slammed back in. There was even a semi overturned on the Waldport bridge, blocking the road to Newport! They said the bridge might be closed up to 3 hours... but so far, the power has stayed on. Yay!

Aquaricolors
From a collection of pictures of the Aquarium up the road--they have a little underwater bubble where kids can pop up, and Allen used it to take pictures of piranhas!

First Edition
So, Allen's newspaper, The Yachats Gazette, opened in town last Sunday, and it was a great success! We sat outside the café where it's being distributed for over an hour, and each time somebody came in or left, he would call out to them. It was so nice to see how accepting people were--and impressed, too! Doesn't he look like the perfect little newsboy (even though he's the publisher!)?

Dear Allen,
Your Dad and I are so enormously proud of you for starting this monthly newspaper for our little town. You’ve gotten “business alliances” with many of the shop owners, you’ve gone out and interviewed them for your news stories, and you’ve set up a place for distribution. You sure have some big ideas, and we are so delighted that you’re making one of them come true! And you even totally look the part. We wish you the utmost success!
Love,
Mommy
