Happy Valentine Day
















We enjoyed a lovely day in Bandon. We decided to celebrate this day of love by doing something we both love to do. We went to the Bandon Fish Market and bought fish and chips. Then we drove out to the South Jetty and enjoyed watching the ocean and the seals and sea lions and of course we had to share part of our chips with the ever friendly seagulls. One "big boy" thought the front of our van was just for him to set on and watch of eat. We called this one the "Captain" then we had some great waves and I tried to take some pictures.
Our lunch was really good and we did enjoy it with the company of the gulls. I tried to take pictures of the seals and sea lions as we had at least five of them off the South Jetty. No luck in getting their pictures.
We had some pretty big waves and as they hit the North Jetty some big plumes. Shirl was a happy beach comber as he just walked along the beach for a short distance and found about 6 Or 7 good size agates. This is where the picture is suppose to be, but I have not learned how to get them where I want them. Instruction anyone?? They all show up at the top.




Take a look at the Coquille River Lighthouse that is being restored and they have painted it back to the original colors. Seems strange as we had always seen it as all white. Check later for more pictures.
