Leo surprised me with a belated birthday present, a few days ago. I'm working on a pattern (to be released soon) and decided it just had to be shot at the coast and since we're going, we might as well bring the pups along.
Our usual spot was a little crowded, and since shooting the pattern required that I completely change, in 45ยบ weather, and don a wee little dress, I figured it might be better if we go somewhere a little less populated. It didn't make it any warmer but at least I wasn't putting on a burlesque show in the process.
We ended up stumbling on the most amazing secluded spot. I don't even know what town we were in, nor what street we turned onto. It's in our GPS, though and we'll be finding our way back.
There were rocky outcroppings that made for impressive tidepools

Panda mostly did her own thing, as she is wont to do.

And Thea chased her brother around whenever he wasn't chasing her.

The view wasn't anything to scoff at either.

Once the puppies were tuckered out, the humans decided to stop for a burger and some blues before the long drive home.

Just another wonderful day at the Oregon coast. See all our pictures here.
Envious sighs from over here.
How beautiful! Sounds like a fabulous day out.
You are so lucky to live within driving distance of the coast. My Palo Alto daughter is now living in Baton Rouge (a work casued move not greeted happily by anyone other than her in laws) & boy do we miss visiting Hlaf Moon Bay & Monterey. sigh 8-P
