Beach break........

Hi!  Just returned from a few days at the Oregon coast where we stayed in the small town called Pacific City.  In this cute little cottage.........

and in the front yard there was buoy tree........

for some reason, many of the trees on the coast are adorned with these boating accoutrements called buoys.  I guess it is because the are easily separated from their boats and wash up onto the shore where they are found and drug home from leisurely walks on the beach.  What better thing to do with them than hang them in a tree, after all, it is found treasure!

While I am poking fun of people who hang things in their trees, I'll share with you the rock I picked up on one of my leisurely walks on the beach.......

 
 


My skeleton rock......I put it in a flower pot when I got home, I did not hang it in a tree.  Funny rock, made me smile!










Collected a few other things while I was there...........

.....so I drew them.  Mostly, that's what I did at the beach.......walked, drew, painted, ate, slept, walked, drew, painted......you get the idea. 




So, now we are home and back into our crazy life as we
know and love it and planning our next escape.
