Nehalem Bay, Oregon

I hadn't planned on staying the night at Nehalem Bay, but I remained flexible on this trip for moments like this. I was going to drive north to Astoria, but when I arrived after sunset, it was obvious, even in the faint light that this was a gorgeous place. It's beauty took my breath away even when I could barely see it. And I knew I must see it, so I stayed at the Wheeler on the Bay Lodge and Marina and waited for the early morning light. My hotel was exceptional with a fireplace and in-room hot tub. I cannot express how kind the owners, Pat and Tracy Scribner, were or how wonderful this place was. I did not want to leave. I could have stayed there for months watching the sun rise and set on this beautiful bay. I could have sat there on the bench at the end of the dock and watched the seasons change. If I ever marry again, this is where I want to honeymoom. (Click on pictures to enlarge)

I wanted to add, the shadows in the water are awesome.

Monica, it killed me to leave this place. With each place I visit, I am usually ready to go to the next adventure, but this one was so hard to leave behind.

And that is real morning dew on the tulips, not staged droplets.
