When we went to bed Thursday night, it remained clear as a bell. The sunset was perfect in a way, but without any clouds, less photogenic than usual. Here’s what it looked like from the balcony just before and during sunset. That’s my photography equipment on the table – lens cap, camera bag, and vodka tonic.

Friday morning we woke to a polar opposite world. You could hardly see the ocean for the fog. I started a walk, but I turned back fairly quickly as I though (mistakenly) that it was starting to rain. So no walk pictures.
Since the fog was hanging in still at 11:00, we ate a quick lunch at home and then headed to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. We hadn’t been in a couple of years. It is located just over the Yaquina Bay Bridge (and almost under it) heading south. The Rogue Brewery is nearby, all right on the coast.
Now, a plethora of pictures from the aquarium. If you are not into fish and sea critter pictures and videos, you are about finished for the day.
Come back tomorrow for a video or two of puffins. No time to process tonight. Cocktails were on a sunny balcony. Dinner was at Thai Bay View Kitchen in Depoe Bay. Great Thai food from a nice Thai family. Thai beer for me; a local IPA for Elaine.
So a vodka tonic is the secret to great photographs. Good to know.
Fabulous pix at the aquarium. Gotta love penguins and puffins. Looking forward to the puffin video.
How do you find such great places to visit and fabulous restaurants? You need to become a tour guide – your stories around each place are great also – keep up the super tour!!
I am with you Sue, I love the puffins, so did our mom. Great pics as usual Joe. Love to you both, Cindy
