In mid-May, we went to the central Oregon coast. The forecast was for rain most of the weekend, but after driving through torrential rains to get to the coast, the skies cleared at the ocean. We managed to dodge the rain showers most of the weekend. It was one of those magical experiences – the cleanest air and the most photogenic clouds. It really shows that as Ansel Adams said; photography is “the study of light”. On our hikes and runs we saw beautiful rhododendrons in full bloom.
We went to Newport to attend the Brewer’s Festival at Rogue Ales brewery. “Brewer” was the brew masters black lab who got run over by a tractor at the brewery a few years ago. They hold a beer tasting/dog festival each year in honor of the canine. There are all kinds of dog games and contests and lots of good microbrews. If you ever get a chance to come to Oregon, be sure to check out our craft breweries.
Enjoy the photos.
