She closed her eyes. She drew her shoulders back. She took a slow and steady breath.
There was tension in the air. A weight. A wait. There was no wind. She did not speak. The world grew and stretched tight.-Patrick Rothfuss, The Slow Regard of Silent Things
There’s nothing quite like standing on the beach at sunset and watching the sky and water play together with a dance of reflection and light. On our recent trip to Oregon my daughter and I sat apart from each other in complete silence watching the sun slowly descend into a bank of clouds. It was slow and sudden—a beautiful, fleeting moment of peace.
Today’s photo selections are of the place my father lives in Oregon called Little Whale Cove. It’s a hidden and magical gem we feel incredibly grateful to visit each summer. I hope you enjoy them!
Stay tuned: Next week I’ll be sharing photos of our visit to the West Coast Game Park Safari.
How lovely
I must admit, you are as beautiful a photographer as you are a writer. You brought the the beauty of little whale cove. Fabulous.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Carol. It’s a beautiful, lush place.

Thanks!! It really is magic-like a fairy forest.
Beautiful shots, how fortunate to get to spend time there.
Thanks, Rebecca. Yes, I am extremely lucky to visit such beauty. ❤️
Gorgeous photos and you’re right – the beach (or any body of water) with the reflections of sunset are amazing at sunset and sunrise – I like your description of “playing together” that is just what it looks like
Thanks so much! It really is one of my most favorite things in the world.

A beautiful location dear Bridgette. In 1991-1994, I was station at Monterey. I drove the coastline from San Diego to Washington State. The most beautiful places, I ever seen.
It really is so beautiful and green. ❤️❤️❤️
I loved the hidden waterfalls at Big Sur dear Bridgette. I agree. A utopia for us, who love nature.
Wow
