Love the sound of those storm-tossed waves hitting the beach and rocks. A storm at sea when I’m safely onshore is one of the best things in life. Having fun watching the rains come and go, the sun shine and the winds blow. I just love this stuff. Boy, do I live in the wrong part of the world.

One of the best things about having a digital camera and Photoshop is being able to take a full color picture that’s really pretty nice, into a black and white one that’s something special with the click of a button.

I have pictures up in my gallery of coastal highlights so far. There’s another experiment in black and white conversion in the gallery. Also a few of the two places we’ve stayed so far: Itty Bitty Inn in North Bend, and Table Rock Motel in Bandon.
