Cannon Beach in May

We went to Cannon Beach this week and some of our friends went with us. My husband has some very generous friends that let the four of us stay in their lovely beach home. We were so very fortunate as the weather was perfect for our stay. We walked the beach a few times and also walked around the town of Cannon Beach. What an adventure we had. It was wonderful going into all of the gallerys in town and checking out the art work and photography. Speaking of photography I did bring both of my cameras with me on this trip and managed to come up with a few pictures to post.
The sun was setting and the way it was shining it really showed the ridges in the sand and yes I had to lay in the sand to get this picture.
Okay it is just a rock, but I thought the light from the sunset was nice and it was a cool looking rock.
I know it wasn't a colorful sunset, but it was still awesome.
I took this one while we were in town walking around. The sky was so blue and all the trees around were blossoming.
A little wave action here.
I thought this was a cool looking piece of driftwood, it seems to be pointing the way and no I am not afraid to lay in the sand to get a different view for a picture.
So the tide was going out so my friend and I checked out some tidal pools and look what we saw. Pretty cool. We walked on the beach until it was almost dark and between the two of us we found 4 sand dollars the size of nickels. So I guess you could call them sand nickels. What a nice relaxing visit we had. Thank you God for the perfect weather and great friends.
