Thelma and Louise Go To Depoe Bay...

And you may ask yourself:  "Where does that driveway go to?"

Oh.

Oh no!

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Bridge Porn: Newport Edition.

The Yaquina Bay bridge opened in 1936.  It reminds me a little of the St. John's bridge with its art deco design, and cathedral-like supports on the south side.  This is not an easy bridge to photograph, and I did not get enough free time to take any span photos, but I'm sure I will be back there, and will add to this as things occur.

Newport, or Bodega Bay? Mother Thinks The Birds Are After Her... Or Maybe They Are just pretty.

Cormorants

Female Gull

Gull Chicks

We call this "Bird Shit Island".  I wish I could have gotten a little closer.  There are Cormorants, and Auks here.

The Auks even sound like penguins!

Hello from my happy place...

Here. Have a Pier. A Crabbing Pier.

So, this pier is pretty well-loved.  Storied, almost.

So many crab pots...

Aarrrrr... barnacles...

There's a star fish waiting on the pier.  He'd like to come and meet us, but he'd have to suck our rears...

This one was a bit more ambitious.

Red Rock Crab

Dungeness Crab.  

Female.  She had to be thrown back.  With Dungies, you must throw back the females, and the little ones.  Womp, womp...
