May 23-24, 2021 Eugene to Waldport, Oregon

 64 and mostly cloudy.

I ran 4 loads at the  Riviera Coin Laundromat this afternoon. John came along for moral support. The beginning of sunset. 

Moon tree. Sunset.

Weird tree in the parking lot. It almost looks like a camera watching us.  Eye of Sauron in the sky. 

We headed to the Oregon Coast through the rain and fog. Our first stop was at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We saw puffins and a pacific spiny lumpsucker. 

A puffin wearing a mask, have you cleaned your tentacles and keep the distance of a 6 foot shark. A school of anchovies. 

Leslie and I tried on  cool hats in the gift shop.  We made it out of there without buying any. We went next to the Rogue brewery in Newport. A safe distance of 6 feet is 24 cans of beer or 4.5 kegs. 

Sue, Scott, John and Leslie tasting beers and eating French fries. 

The ocean with the fog and rain. We rented this cute little beach cottage. Very comfy, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. 

The view from the cottage is the bridge over the Alsea River. We walked the dog along the river here. John cooking a gourmet dinner with Scott providing moral support while Leslie lounges in the living room. 

The sun peeked thought the rain and there was a rainbow over the bridge and sunset. 

May 21-22, 2021 Eugene, Oregon

 High of 63 and  mostly cloudy.

The coach flying through the shop. . . I finished this beauty yesterday. Natural and dyed pine needles, polyester thread and glass seed beads. The center is a piece of dichroic glass I fused. 7 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. 

I started this today, it is going pretty fast. Natural pine needles, polyester thread, glass seed beads and the center is dichroic glass that I fused. 7 1/2 x 1 1/2. Still need to clean it up and put leather on the back. Our dining room de jour. Another weekend in the shop parking lot. 

The late sun coming through the window and hitting the new masterpieces. It was cloudy most of the day and at sunset the clouds melted away. But not a bad sunset.

It morphed into this. We walked around the Oregon Country Fair grounds today. Scott, Larry, Leslie, Ann Marie and John. 

These are the tiny white flowers we were walking in. Blue Camus.

Big dragon head as you enter the Oregon Country Fair grounds. Smaller dragon on a booth. 

Pentastamens.  Walking through where there are booths at the Oregon Country Fair. 

Something in the mint family with pink blooms. White flowers on a shrub. Crypanthia, white flowering bush, blue penstemons and pink flowers. 

Bleeding hearts, yellow flowers and a larkspur. Larry, Leslie, Rhody, Scott, /Ann Marie and John on the dragon bench. 

Jphn and Ann Marie in a shade shelter made from woven branches. Green archway. 

Funky tree, Dragon fountain.

Entrance to the spa building. Huge moss covered hanging art, painting,  and two pieces of artwork at the spa. 

Awning of Aquarius.  Backstage of the main stage. 

Spring beauty's, pink flower, wallflower,  and a curled  vine in the sun. Oregon Country Fair, big leaf maple leaves, Tower of power, Larkspur. 

I finished cleaning up the basket. It is 6 inches by 1 1/2. The center is a piece of glass I fused. Sunset tonight.
