Yesterday was Mike's birthday. We were having thus much fun out as well as nigh that I never got roughly to writing a weblog post. So here's what nosotros did. First, Mike enjoyed kitty worship patch he waited for me to brand his birthday Eggs Benedict.
It was my kickoff fourth dimension making hollandaise sauce from scratch inwards the RV, as well as it worked out merely fine. The whole dish worked out, but it would cause got been much easier if I'd remembered to convey my egg poaching pan.
After breakfast, nosotros headed out to run into the Circles inwards the Sand again. First, nosotros stopped off at the dry reason commons merely due north of the circles. This is the Oregon Islands State Park, for 24-hour interval purpose only, but some beautiful views. The body of body of water stacks off the coast are thus interesting.
Here's a pano of the whole area. Remember that y'all tin brand whatever paradigm larger past times clicking on it.
So, let's merely walk out a piddling ways. The puffins inhabit these body of body of water stacks during their nesting season, as well as I'd read a sign that said something nigh "Cat as well as Kitten Island." Well, that I had to see. But first, delight read the instructions.
Now, don't brand me country y'all again. And given the sign, I stayed good dorsum from the border when I took this side past times side picture.
And I never did figure out Cat as well as Kitten Island. We read the signs, but couldn't notice anything that identified them, as well as none of them looked similar cats or kittens to us. Still, this sign nigh how the body of body of water stacks are formed was interesting.
And here's something that gives us nightmares hither inwards Oregon. Occasionally, the media volition acquire off on a tangent nigh it as well as everybody gets wigged out. I'm non certain what ane tin produce to fix for such a catastrophe.
You tin read to a greater extent than nigh the Cascadia Subduction Zone correct here.
From there, nosotros headed over to the circles, which were merely on the other side of that detail beach. In this image, we're looking dorsum the other way.
These are Tuesday's Circles.
Mike was having fun playing amongst the piddling hand-held weather condition station I got him for his birthday. These kinds of things are urgently of import to engineers. If it tin live on measured, as well as then nosotros desire to mensurate it. Here, he's watching the air current speed, which was at 13.4 mph when I took this picture. If y'all hold off closely, y'all tin run into that the highest air current measured during the fourth dimension nosotros were standing at that topographic point was 21.6 mph. It truly got upwards inwards a higher identify 28 mph at ane point. His piddling weather condition station also measures temperature as well as height as well as another stuff.
Now here's something. That adult woman at that topographic point is a consummate random stranger, but I left her at that topographic point thus y'all could run into the size of the puffin.
He's made of garbage that has washed upwards on the beach.
Here's an interesting tidbit nigh puffins. We dearest puffins.
And hither are all the blooming things nosotros saw on the beach. These piddling pinkish jobs hold off a lot similar a type of clover.
These were interesting. Flat similar pancakes.
This is a wild strawberry merely similar the ane I dug upwards inwards our plain at home. But I noticed the lupine leaves beside it.
Then, I started looking for lupine. This was the most opened upwards ane I could find, but these volition all live on blooming within the side past times side few days.
From the circles, nosotros drove into the onetime town business office of Bandon as well as walked around, had some lunch, as well as visited a few gift shops as well as galleries. There were blooming things at that topographic point too.
This was a prissy gallery amongst some beautiful, but rattling expensive things. I had to accept a moving-picture present of the cat.
Back home, nosotros constitute the kitties lounging inwards the afternoon sunshine.
Just within as well as side past times side to the catio, Sadie was snoozed out too.
After dinner, nosotros went out for a walk roughly the campground. The wild rhododendrons are blooming.
And at that topographic point were another blooming things too.
Alongside ane of the campsites, somebody had left river rocks amongst painted designs.
That greenish turtle reminded me I hadn't shown y'all the polished stone I was given on the kickoff 24-hour interval nosotros visited the circles. H5N1 adult woman had a whole pile of them inwards an abalone vanquish as well as she was handing them out every bit souvenirs. I chose this greenish ane to stand upwards for my emerald nascency stone.
We've been busy patch we've been here, but I've had enough of fourth dimension to stitch. Getting the discussion "Stitch" finished inwards that tiny chain sew together felt similar a milestone. I yet cause got to encircle the entire pump amongst to a greater extent than tiny chain stitch.
The eventide before, we'd been out for a walk roughly the campground, as well as I was experimenting amongst my novel iPhone photographic goggle box camera attachment. I yet require to function on learning some of its capabilities...especially exposure control. These pictures were a piddling blown out.
Bandon claims to live on a "tsunami-ready" city, as well as we've noticed all kinds of signs roughly amongst instructions should a seismic sea wave alert live on issued.
This sign confused us a little. It looks to us every bit if y'all are supposed to become to the "assembly area," as well as and then you'll live on led to where you'll probable snuff it inwards the tsunami. Hm.
So anyway...we're planning to travel out this morning time to thwart the evil efforts of whatever lurking tsunamis. But first, we'll cheque out the day's circles inwards the sand, as well as we're going dorsum to Bandon. There's a cute piddling candy store there. I visited yesterday, but Mike wasn't amongst me at that moment. He missed out, as well as thus we'll become dorsum in ane trial again today. After that...home.
