I grew up hearing the ghost stories of the Oregon Coast. I always found the story involving Yaquina Bay lighthouse to be particularly spine chilling. . . #travelnewport #discovernewport #oregon #newportoregon #oregonbeach #oregonbeaches #beachgrass #sandydays #oregoncoast #yaquinabay #yaquinabaylighthouse #lighthouse_lovers #lighthouse_captures #coastalview #yourshotphotographer #MyCanonStory #thehonestlens #landscape_lovers #landscapecaptures #pnwlife #mypnwlife #pnwphotography #pnwphotographer #ourdailyearth #ourdailyplanet #coastexplorer #colorsofthenorthwest #bevisuallyinspired #canonglobal
Not my typical post, but Colby Jack got a pizza costume and he is not amused. I, on the other hand, am hysterically amused. The costume mysteriously causes paralysis that disappears upon removal. . . #catshatehalloween #halloweencat #catcostume #pizzacostume #acatnamedcheese #colbyjack #catcute #instacat #marmalade #orangetabby #saycheese #marmaladecat #catsofinstagram #catsrule #gingercatsrule #catsruletheworld #meowmeow #instacatsworld #instacatsgram #bigorange #cats_of_instagram #catstagram #orangecat #pnwpets #pnwcats #meow #cattitude #rescuecatlife

We stopped at a local coffee shop before heading out to Strathcona and were asked by both people we interacted with if we had a) bear bells (barista) and b) bear spray (guy standing behind us in line). No. And no. But, how about a healthy dose of bearanoia? . I told myself (and my husband) that we were going to one of the most popular trails in the park. Of course, I also suggested he whistle (loudly) the entire hike. Oh, how I wish I could whistle. . We arrived at the trailhead...and it was filled with kids. I’d guess 12-13 years old. Turns out it was field trip Friday. 75 kids, 15 adults, 3 dogs. We allowed them to go ahead of us, waited long enough for a semblance of peace, and enjoyed our bear-free hike in the woods. . . #vancouverisland #strathcona #strathconapark #boardwalk #bearanoia #boardwalkempire #vancouverislandbc #hikergirl #vancouverislandlife #britishcolumbia #islandlife #campbellriver #campbellriverbc #discovercampbellriver #pnwonderland #bcisbeautiful #coastallife #beautifulbc #vanisle #westcoastlife #westcoastbestcoast #islandsofadventure #yourshotphotographer #pnwphotography #pnwphotographer #pnwhikers #pnwhiking #hikeday #mycanonstory
