went to florence the first day... took my friend with me, and away we went.... went to the dunes and watching the riders on the dunes.... great fun... wish i could do it... 
unfortunately this pic doesn't do it justice... it's actually very steep, very long and looks like great fun!!!
unfortunately this pic doesn't do it justice... it's actually very steep, very long and looks like great fun!!!then we drove along the jetty...stopped at a few places...
watched a couple of clammers... using some sort of tool... it works slick... unfortunately i think if everyone had one, there'd be no clams left... tooo efficient...
gave the dogs a good walk in the sand... dora was her usual hyper self... can't contain her enthusiasm and continually in trouble... ahhhh for some maturity... i know it will come :D
eventually!!!!
after our trip to the dunes, we got hungry.... went into florence and spotted this car... hmmm is this a DUH or what???
finished up the day at a great little cafe, had grilled salmon with chipolte lime sauce... and sliced fried sweet potatoes.. some excellent bake beans... mmmmmm good!!!did i mention that we went ......... gambling... we didn't lose too much... about 20$... that i can live with.... more than that and i get annoyed with myself!!!
yesterday was pretty cool... same weather... glorious i must say... warm, so this time i wandered north... to Siletz.... up the Siletz river.... was a great trip...
the seagull was probably smart... below were 2 seals who just had made a snack out of something... not sure what it was.. a fish or bird... who knows... alas i didn't have the right camera with me, my smaller camera takes great fun pics, but doesn't have the speed that my nikon does.... further up river we stopped at a few more places.. wandered and let the dogs do some high tech sniffing.... dora really perked up when we got to farmland... the farm girl comes out in her... sampson just loves having his head out the window, sniffing at all the things he's never seen...
went to Siletz and beyond, up as far as the pavement goes... was pretty... i love the farmland too... i love the ocean, but i'm more a farm girl i think...
checked out Moonshine Park... i didn't see any moonshine, but it did appear that some of the occupants might have found it ...
lots of fishermen all the way up the Siletz... must be good fishing... passed a Fish Hatchery on the way... so i guess it's probably well stocked.... 
this looks painful... i did see 2 calves but they were laying down and i couldn't get a photo of them... i thought about getting out of the car, but the cows were all free range... thank goodness for real cows... :D not the feedlot variety... that should be banned...
