This is the little red cabin that my mother owns on the beach at Rockaway Beach, Oregon. My extended family enjoys week long summer vacations here and it is booked all summer long. The beach is right out front and beside it on the left is Salt Air Creek, the location of hours of playing by children of all ages. Behind the cabin is Highway 101 and the train tracks. Watching log trucks and trains go by is part of the activity.
On the bank of the creek is this incredible display of rambling
"beach roses", a kind of rugosa that obviously likes sand and fog and thrives on neglect.
Out on the beach we see "The Big Rocks", as the grandkids call them, or Twin Rocks as they are officially named. I have taken many photos of these rocks over the years. On this trip we never broke out of the coastal fog, so this year's pics are a study in gray.
Time to go shift some laundry around. More later.
Those twin rocks just beg for a story or legend. I love those beach roses. Have a wonderful, peaceful Sunday, Linda.
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you!!! Seems like you're going to have lots of fun stories to tell. Your mom's cabin looks like a wonderful place to build sandcastles and memories. You're lucky to have it!
ReplyDeleteI, like Kay, would love to hear more about the twin rocks. Gotta be a legend there. And, I'm especially anxious to hear some of the about some of the happy experiences you shared with your family.
