John at Arch Rock Brewery in Gold Beach, Oregon with his IPA. Very tiny tasting room, about 10 x 10 feet. So he tasted there and then we went to Hunter Creek Bar and Grill for lunch and they have Arch Rock on tap. We also went to meet Linda and her husband Fred. Linda is my partner in the Art of Pine Needle coiling facebook page ornament exchange. Usually we mail these but since we were so close we med. We exchanged our ornaments and visited most of the afternoon. We decided we needed a photo with the most memorable thing in the restaurant, the Kisses Urinal in the men's room! We know how to have fun.
Linda brought these beautiful pine needle baskets that she made for show and tell and gave me these two ornaments. We ate lunch and visited most of the afternoon. Was great to meet Linda and her husband Fred. On the way back we drove by Pistol River Beach. We have driven by a bunch of times and never stopped. Today we stopped.
It was close to low tide so we could walk among these sea stacks. It was stunning.
Some of the sea stacks had red rocks embedded in them, this one also has green algae and white barnacles. We also saw lots of colorful sea stars and anemones.The last one is a rose in reflected sunset. Sunset, tide pools and huge waves.
Sunset coming through this keyhole in a sea stack. Wild rocks and seagulls in sunset.
Sunset between sea stacks. Long anemones hanging below a rock and lots of mussels, sea stars and anemones. Sea stars eat mussels. They clamp on with their sucker arms and pull the shell open and eat them.
John in the sunset among sea stacks.
At the end of the sunset I thought my glasses were fogging up, but no it was fog rolling in. I finished this basket. It is for Cat's in trade for the cool hat she crocheted for me.
John at the Chetco Brewery with his IPA. We had dinner there of hummus and peanuts and beer. Sunset from Chetco Brewery.
We went to Azalea state park for the Nature's Coastal Holiday show advertised with over 500,000 light and 89 2D and 3D sculptures. John on one of the walkways. All you could see were the lights so it was disorienting where to walk and children were walking into people. It was a lovely overload of lights and color. There were also complementary xmas cookies and hot chocolate. A shark, hillside display and an octopus were among the many things.
My personal angel John and a jellyfish. That is two different things, John is not my jellyfish! We had our pictures taken with Princes Elsa. Almost as good as with Santa.
