January on the Oregon Coast

We headed over to the coast today to check on some possible damage from the recent flooding.  The weather was amazing on the beach.  In the upper 50s with almost no wind.  A perfect day for hunting for treasures.  We discovered interesting shells, fossils, and driftwood pieces on our visit.

We had dressed warm expecting the typical cool, windy conditions.

There are always giant logs scattered along the beaches in Oregon.  Luckily for our daughter, a number of them had been pushed up far enough on the beach that we let her do a little exploring.  Around that log is where she found some of the more unique shells.

Too bad we didn't bring a board with us on this trip!

Anyone up for a paddle...

There's been lots of flooding in our area.  The section of the Willamette River that we paddled on last July now looks like a muddy, churning, lake.
