Here is one of my favorite shots of the beach in Bandon, Oregon. The weather was foggy and overcast most of our time in Bandon, so I was happy to see some clear skies the morning before we left the area to head down the coast to the Redwoods. Bandon is located in the southern part of Oregon and is such a quaint little port, with a unique lighthouse and a great little town on the wharf. I have many fond memories of the Oregon Coast. My parents took the family almost every August while I was growing up and I loved to stay in our camp trailer in the beautiful campgrounds up and down the coast. So, if you have not seen the Oregon Coast, I hope you can visit there sometime soon! It is also fun to visit in the winter to watch the stormy seas and huge, crashing waves. Many people go then to storm-watch and beachcomb. It is cold almost anytime you go, though and be prepared for rain and fog.
