Greeting from Oregon's Coast

No, this isn't where I am......

Oregon Coast

This postcard comes from Elizabeth @ Retinal Perspectives.
I was delighted to trade postcards with her, especially since Oregon's coast intrigues me.
It reminds me so much of Big Sur, and I hope that I'll go to Oregon's coast one day as well.


The above photo is a sample of what you'll find at Retinal Perspectives.
Elizabeth has a fabulous blog where she shares photos of not only the coast,
but of her adorable weimy appropriately named Atlas.


Stretching 362 miles (583 km) from the city of Astoria to the California border, the Oregon Coast is unique in that the entire coast is public land. Oregon law prohibits private ownership of coastline property.


Another one of my most favorite bloggers happens to reside in Oregon as well.
And since Lydia recently did an in depth post about the coast of Oregon,
and how it came to be preserved, I will point you in her direction to learn more.

  3. The Oregon Coast is amazing. I drove part of it one fall, on my way to Seattle. It was far more dramatic & rugged than I was used to.

  11. I've been telling my family that I'd like to visit Oregon and Washington. It's such a breath-taking part of our country.

  12. I agree … the Oregon coast is spectacular! The images and information you’ve shared ‘mesh’ with my own experiences visiting the area, but I prefer to live in a warmer climate … just because. I’ve shared some ‘foggy’ local views in my Sky Watch/Haiku Friday post at Sacred Ruminations this morning.
    Hugs and blessings,
