Here are my photos from the Oregon Coast. Just a few of them!

Newport

The beach:

The beach again:

I got my feet wet soon after this next picture:

I figured an art deco bridge should be in sepia tones:

Closeup of a sea lion hanging out on a pier in Newport:

Lighthouse

Agate Beach, a wonderful little beach with mini sand dunes:

Bandon - the not-so-nice zoo (Animals are in small cages, making for great photos, but sad animals.)

A sleeping lion:

These guys run around in a little "gang" amongst the people. They're very skittish: the bear, in a cage, will lunge at them to try to catch lunch, and they'll take off, thinking he can catch them:

Baby panther, waiting to be petted:

Winston - the good wild animal safari park (Well worth the visit - you drive through it in a car, and only have to have the windows down when you go through the bear section.)

Antelope-like guys - I love his expression:

Baby buffalo, guarded by mommy's hoof (and an abundance of flies hanging around mommy). One of her friends got in front of Darrin's car and licked his bumper. We got stuck in the middle of the herd for about five minutes before they moved enough to get through. They seem to enjoy this immensely:

Near the duck pond:

Zebras:

A black bear exploring the bulrushes:

Can you find the giraffe? He's hiding:

Emu? Ostrich? Hmm. Whatever he is, he tried to stick his head in the car to check out the interior.

Cannon Beach

Haystack Rock and the beach:

Another shot, a little less foggy:
