Welcome to June in Port Orford, Oregon!

Travel

Well, it's been wetter and windier than normal here on the coast of Oregon but summer is finally getting here!

I've been pretty busy with work so I don't have any new places to show (yet) but thought I'd share a few pictures of places I have been... including some BIG bear tracks. lol

The images are from Cape Blanco State Park, Battle Rock Park (Which is named for the historic battle that took place at Battle Rock where the Qua-to-mah Native Americans fought Capt. William Tichenor's men in 1851.), and Dog Beach near the port itself.

A wide sandy beach at low tide with sea stacks offshore under a partly cloudy sky

A side view of the dolly dock's wooden platform and yellow crane, used to launch fishing boats, with rocks piled along the shore

A misty, overcast beach scene with dark rock formations and a tall sea stack in the surf

A close-up of tiny yellow and white wildflowers held between two fingers

This closeup was taken with my iPhone. I just love these little tiny flowers!

A moss-covered concrete ruin, partially collapsed, tucked in the forest off a horse trail at Cape Blanco State Park

I have no idea what the ruin above is. It's off one of the horse trails at the state park. I just thought it was cool. lol

Teddy has some weird genetic hair issues going on. He's gone from short hair to long hair to a full mane to no mane, with plenty of iterations in between—and it doesn't depend on the season!

He's always happy to answer any questions too! You can email us at hillary@mybuzzabout.com but I'll respond for him as he hasn't gotten the knack of typing yet. WOOF!
