Friday Night Photos Oregon Road Trip Edition pt1

Happy Friday everyone. You know the drill. Photos, memes, music, or whatever else you find of interest. Post em if you got em.

As most of you know I was in Oregon for a few days last week for the annual family get together to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving. Between family and friends there were 12 people there. Everyone had a great time. The weather was nice. Cloudy skies in the morning with temps in the high 40s and mostly sunny skies by noon, and temps warming up to the low to mid 60s in the afternoon.

The vrbo house we rented was right on the beach in Netarts. Question for our Oregon members. Is Netarts pronounced knee tarts or net arts? Inquiring minds want to know. How ever you pronounce it, Nertarts and near by Tillamook was a great place to spend a few days.

This farm and barn was on the drive from Portland to Netarts.

These are either very big rocks or very small islands.

A good time was had by all. For me the highlight of the get together were the home movies. My brother brought along an 8mm movie projector, movie screen, and the home movies my dad shot of the family in the mid to late 50s when my sibs and I were a whole lot younger.
Nice seasonal shot. Someone was very creative.

Life is what you make it, so make it something worthwhile.

This ain't no dress rehearsal!

I'm happy for you and the family to have had such a beautiful place to gather together. It seems that big rock formations are a feature of the Oregon coast. I've been on a few of those beaches, but never that one. They are spectacular, thank you for taking us along. I love the little worm highways around the jellyfish.

I’m busy preparing myself and my small garden before I leave soon. I think I will just miss the first ripe blueberry.

I wish everyone well, and peace to all.

I hope you can take a road trip down the coast sometime. It's a photographer's and beach lovers dream. I'll be scarce the next few weeks, and look forward to being back here later.

The rows of beach houses are one of the reasons I like the memories in my head of non-developed lands with wildlife as we boated down the coast from the Columbia River to Newport, our home port.

A number of areas in Oregon retain their Native American names and pronunciation follows no European tradition. Netarts is pronounced knee tarts. The pilings might be remnants of horse barns used for horse seining operations.

Still yourself, deep water can absorb many disturbances with minimal reaction.

Thanks for the clarification on the pronunciation of Netarts. Thanks for the horse barn and seining ops link. An interesting history. There were no seining operations going on while we were there but there were a lot of crabbers and clammers along the shore most mornings and evenings.
