A huge sheared hedge with an arch into the courtyard

Even the garbage cans are planted

"The Gardener"

leaving the dreamy gardens

Next we took a ferry back into the States and spent the night in the coastal town of Astoria (where one of our favorite movies was filmed, Goonies )
Took some morning shots of the bridge with these old pylons.

Another angle

And a near by hotel reflecting it's color in the water

The dogs & I in front of the Goonies house

My puppers Kasey & Penny were alert to all the sights and sounds

So much to see!

View from the Goonies house. Astoria is a real nice town to visit.

Cannon Beach, Oregon, these rock formations also made it in the movie

We stopped at so many beautiful Oregon beaches

Some with long stretches of sand

Now what are these folks staring at?

4 killer whales in the bay

Hubby's telephoto showed one was a youngster

Cool colors on a boat in Coos Bay

Another beautiful scenic beach

The ocean was such a brilliant turquoise blue
