Yesterday's 12 mile hike included 6 miles on the shoulder of highway 101, but Strawberry Hill was on the way and was begging to be explored! I spent a good hour there watching the harbor seals and the pelicans. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

A small group of brown pelicans soars gracefully over calm ocean waters, silhouetted against a clear blue sky.
Four brown pelicans glide in tight formation just above the ocean surface, wings outstretched over choppy coastal water.
A group of harbor seals rests on black mussel-covered rocks, with one seal baring its teeth in a playful or territorial gesture.
Two harbor seals lie close together on barnacle-covered rocks, appearing relaxed and alert among a scattered group.

This new camera continues to be the best investment ever!
Spotted these Barn Swallow chicks in Seal Rock.

Also, I think I'm a birder now?

Five hungry swallow chicks sit tightly packed in a nest, beaks wide open in anticipation beneath a sheltered eave.
An adult swallow hovers at the edge of a mud nest, feeding its open-mouthed chicks tucked under an overhang.

Just a random "side of the road" phone shot, and yet it's stunning... because everything in #Oregon seems to be stunning. Why is this state so consistently gorgeous???
A red barn with a silver roof in the middle of a large field of dry, golden grass, under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. Trees and forest hills are visible in the background.
