in Oregon stretches for seemingly endless misty miles.

Haystack Rock on the beach is famous both for it’s unique grandeur,

and for the variety of wildlife it harbors,

including a nesting colony of tufted puffins,

unless of course these guys decide to nest on the top of the rock and scare all the puffins away!

Harlequin ducks seem unfazed by the eagles and swim happily all around Haystack.

Many birds can be found in nearby estuaries and ponds, including tree swallows,

scaups,

and ring necked ducks.

Bundles of baby beach bunnies sleep on our ocean front patio,

using our presence to keep the eagles away.

Apparently in the 1980’s domesticated rabbits were released into the wild and bred like bunnies!

Cheers to you from Canon Beach~

Vancouver Island is full of stunning hiking opportunities. This Marina was the trailhead for one hike,

where we were greeted by a curious fawn!

The hike wound through pristine rain forest,

and river gorges with wildlife all around us.

The beach was mostly empty and the water so pristine, it formed perfect mirrored surfaces for reflection.

A killdeer was unconcerned with our arrival at his beach.

The crystalline sea water,

makes sea anenome look like they weren’t under water.

Although all of these shots were taken through sea water, there was no distortion. This is what perfectly clean sea water looks like. We don’t have this in California!

We have been home at The Holler for several weeks now, but these photos send cheers to you from beautiful and unspoiled Vancouver Island~
