Barb's been giving me a great introduction to life on the coast. This was our first walk on the beach after arriving in the field in mid-September. Lincoln City.
Peggy Fallon joined us for that walk, and we couldn't keep up with her! She was running most of the way, and often skipped over logs, etc. I was so glad I caught a picture of her in action. : )
Near Bar View Jetty.
I think Dr. Suess got some of his inspiration for his illustrations of trees from sea palms.
My first haircut! Not really, Willie did this himself, I was just shaping it up a bit. Getting some practice in case Tom needs a haircut at preps next year...he'll be sure to ask someone else...ANYONE ELSE! : )
Ta Da!! Willie finished the job later, in case you're wondering. : )
Barb has taken me the scenic route whenever possible, and one day this included Cape Meares Lighthouse. It was cloudy on our way there, but as soon as we arrived, it cleared up and was gorgeous!
One of my favorite dogs in the field so far...well, sorry folks, probably THE favorite, but there's room in my heart for the others too. This is QT (belongs to the Jacobsens). I decided while we were there that lap dogs are REALLY COOL! I call her The Lick Meister. She loves to lick, Barb was trying to get her to demonstrate for the camera. : )
Barb's looking pretty Smart, eh? 
Barb, Ann, Jan, Reta and Linda. We had a great time with these ladies recently.
"The ocean waves you bye..."
...and we wave back. See ya soon.
