I’ve spent the last week traveling through Oregon with my teenage daughter. We started at my dad’s house in Depoe Bay, moved to Bandon, and then finished in Rainbow. I took hundreds of photos. Oregon is photogenic as heck! I’ve decided to split them up and share some each Monday for a few weeks.
My photos today are of tiny Depoe Bay and our whale watching excursion through Dockside Charters. We saw four tails and lots of spouts of water, but I wasn’t quick enough to capture a great photo within our hour trip. It didn’t stop us from having a blast standing at the bow of the ship as we bounced through the ocean laughing and scanning the water. It’s an experience neither of us is likely to forget.
I hope these photos of the peaceful coolness of the Pacific coast bring you a little bit of joy.

Yes, Oregon is a beautiful and lush place. The water and cooler temps would be a fantastic relief from the heat here.

I used to pass by and always stop at depoe bay, the smallest bay in the world (?) when my son was attending college in Oregon. I love that Oregon coast. One of my favorite places was cape fowlweather 🙄

I’ve heard it is the smallest bay in the world…but I don’t know if that’s true. It’s really such a photogenic and beautiful place! I’ve not been to cape fowlweather; but I’m adding it to my list for next time. Thank you!

I love the ruggedness of many of these photos. I particularly love the dinghy sitting alone in the vast ocean. And your daughter, even though I just saw her, suddenly looks years older!

You are a great beginner! I loved the perspective of the stairs going down I think on a ferry. But the waves you captured on the ocean were stunning. Delight to the eye.
