Oregon Coastal Fall... A Retrospective

Did you hear that?

That huge whooshing sound?

The sound of fall speeding past?

Blowing your hair across your face so that you can't even see winter coming?

Ya, that's what that was.

In fact these pictures are almost irrelevant.

They were taken at least a month ago.

But allow me to bask in the memories.

It's one more way I can avoid facing the truth about how I should be trying to get this holiday season under control.

Join me in my denial for a moment here.

Friends do that for each other.

Thanks.

Let's travel back to a warmer time...

A drier time...

A time when this whale was one of the locals, hanging out in the port surf zone for a month or so...

A time when the network of local surfers walk around with smiles on their faces...

And their cell phones close by wating for the call...

My hubby really looks forward to the surf this time of year...

A time when the first storms start to roll in and the entire coastal vista looks like it's just been converted to black and white...

A time when there are still leaves on the blueberry bushes and the colors are fab...

Ummm and apparently a time when the grass needs mowing...

Thanks for that brief diversion...

And anytime I can help you avoid reality I'd love to return the favor... just let me know.

I think it might be my calling.
