Christmas at the beach

Christmas at Yachats, Oregon
We rented a  lovely home through Beach Vacation Rentals..and will  go back for sure in the summer
,
We had a fabulous time with some of Clay's family  Here  Sister in law Jackie and me  in the Beautifully painted  house.  Bright colors  through out.. No way would you feel gloomy here in any weather.  Clay and  his brothers Steve  and Pete

 

We enjoyed the waves crashing onto the shore and the weather was mild. A bit of morning fog and as expected a bit of rain..Took many seaside pictures and here are a few.

This is Face Rock  at  Bandon , Oregon. ( do you see her face looking up to the sky?)

* WARNING    
The next photo may be disturbing .. 

While at the beach sadly a dead  female Grey Whale washed ashore,  I had never been so close to a whale before...The  Marine Biologists were examining and taking samples to determine what caused her death.

 The Lighthouse in the fog.. and a few beautiful  Elk we saw on the way home. Making our trip more eventful.
