The Oregon Coast



Anyone out there into Lighthouses? The Oregon Coast has 11 of them. I had the opportunity to drive up and down this coastline (absolutely beautiful by the way) and have visited many of them. If you ever find yourself on that coastline, try to explore as much as you can. Amazing!..... Here is a handful of images to check out.

Heceta Head Lighthouse. The old lightkeepers house is now a Bed & Breakfast. An amazing place with probably the best breakfast I have ever had.

Along the Niagara Falls Trail in Hebo, Oregon. If you like Lush and Secluded, this is it. I never saw another car on the drive to the trailhead or another soul on the trail. It's an easy 1 mile hike downhill to two 100 ft. waterfalls. Very slippery if it's raining,which of course it was when I did it the first time. But remember, it's a 1 mile hike uphill to get back. I highly recommend it.

Australia



Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to get to work in Australia. Once done, I had some time to explore just a little. The places I did get to see were Melbourne,The Great Ocean Road, and Sydney. Check out some of the images.

Cabo Night



Recently we had a family reunion in Cabo San Lucas and had the fortunate opportunity to stay at Villa Taz in Los Cabos. An amazing place with plenty of room for at least 10 people. This is the view we got from our last night there.
