The Bridges of Lane County....

While we were on our trip we were able to take a tour of several covered bridges in Lane county. I was thinking of the movie Bridges of Madison County the whole time...that is such a good movie, I am pretty sure it was a book first.
It was a very cold frosty morning and the bridges were full of beautiful frozen spider webs.
I would show you all the frozen web pictures I took, but I took way too many.
What is it that is so romantic about a covered bridge?

Beachcombing bliss....

Late February storms rolled in......

the perfect season for finding beach treasures.......



I had the cold windy beach all to myself......

Sophie enjoyed playing in the sea foam.....

The small dark spot in the water is a Sea Lion head poking up for air...they swam close to shore as Sophie and I looked for agates and other treasures...there were several out in this little bay...I was almost tempted to jump in with them....

You didn't really think I spent a few days at the ocean without finding a few treasures did you? of course I can't resist sharing them here with you....

Agates...

Fossils...



Shells...

Birthday trip (warning photo overload!)

We spent the weekend on the coast for a little early birthday celebration. Ben is stuck doing jury duty today(my actual b-day).There was a special treasure hunt going on, glass sand dollars were hidden on the beach. We didn't find any but Sophie and I gave it a good shot(there was quite a bit of competition. We walked ...and walked, and walked, and we couldn't have had better weather. Sunshine is the best treasure for us Oregonians in my opinion...... and we found a lot of that.

Solomon was happy with the room, or at least happy to get out of the car.

A little bit of knitting was done...

Now that is a piece of driftwood!
