We are slowly traveling up the Oregon Coast, decided to stay in Coos Bay for a couple of nights, needed to get some groceries and we knew there was a Wal-Mart here.
Here is the bloom of the huckleberry that we love to pick in the fall. Looks like a good year – sure lots of blooms.
On our way back from shopping at Wal-Mart we spotted a Big 5 Sporting Goods store and since Bob was in a dire need of some new shoes, we stopped in and found him a pair. He was amazed that the ones with a swish actually fit him well! Below is a photo of what he did with his old ones.
We had visited Shore Acres State Park a few years ago in the fall, so wanted to see the botanical gardens in the spring. Just beautiful…nice sunny day as well!
We drove on up a few miles from Shore Acres and found some seals relaxing and discussing life. You could hear them conversing quite a distance away.
This huge beautiful bloom, bigger than your hand, is quite aromatic, it is skunk cabbage. Wonder why it smells that way-evidently something thinks it is wonderful.
Don’t you love this breathtaking view!!
