Pictures taken July 1st through July 7th 2008 while my Mom & Dad were visiting from NJ.

	Kathy & Mom along the Yachats 804 Trail		Now that's drift wood!
	Doing a little exploring		Looks like some giant child left his toys laying about
	Mom & Michael		Mom, Dad & Kathy
	The waves hitting the rocks are amazing - but it's real hard to catch the picture		Now THAT house has a view!
	The sun through the waves makes them look translucent.		Yaquina Head Lighthouse
	Hundreds of common murres - they look like little penguins.		The rocks on the other side of the lighthouse are also covered with birds.
	Looks like mostly cormorants with a few pelicans at the bottom		Mom & ET in the solarium
	This little tree is in need of pruning. So Michael & Dad are gonna work on it.		Dad took the clippers to it.
	They cut out a couple branches and really opened it up.		Then they got the hedge trimmer out.
	Just like giving it a hair cut.		Mom was in charge of picking up the cuttings.
	Here's the proud trimming team.		Old covered bridge on a very narrow road out in the woods.
	Mom & Dad		We were told this is a 400 year old spruce.
	The tree is huge! It dwarfs Michael.		We took a drive along one of the forestry roads. The wildflowers were amazing.
	Foxgloves grew wild everywhere		No idea what these are but thought they were interesting
	These lined the road and had to be over four feet tall.		This hillside had been logged and the flowers were taking over
	Flowers everywhere you look		I want some of these for MY garden
			We came out at the top of Cape Perpetua. The trail overlooks the Devil's Churn Visitor Center and coastline.
	During the early days of WWII this shelter built by the CCC's at the top of Cape Perpetua was used as an observation site and radar station.		From it you can see 70 miles of coastline and 36 miles out to sea.
	Waiting for the 4th of July La De Da parade in Yachats to start		The parade route runs right along the bluff
	Pretty awesome scenery while we waited for the parade to start		And here comes the 1st float
	Everybody is either in the parade or goes to the parade		The umbrella drill team was a riot
	And the belly dancers was something		The End
	Seal Rock at low tide is a very popular place.		Lots of cool rock formations.
			The tide pools are full of Sea Stars and Anemones. Most people call Sea Stars, Starfish - but they are not fish! Marine scientists are trying to replace the Starfish name with Sea Star.
	Not a bad background for pictures		Tiny waterfalls pour into tide pools.
	I must have taken several dozen sea star pictures
			Sea Gulls are all over the place
	Dad decided to climb the rocks to see what was on the other side		Over the rock wall he found more rocks and of course the ocean
	Then he had to find his way back down		And collapse on a huge driftwood log for rest
	Mom was to smart too follow Dad up the rock wall!		Orange and purple sea stars hide under every ledge.
	These people better work their way back to the sand, the tide is coming in!		Then we trek back up the hill to where we parked the car.
	Up on top looking down at where Dad climbed the rocks.		Don't they look cute?
			Tide is already starting to cover some of the places we just were.
	The Devil's Churn at Cape Perpetua. We saw it from the top of Cape Perpetua a while back.		These plants dwarf Mom
	This huge old tree has some interesting limbs		The path leads down closer to the Churn
	If anyone fell in they wouldn't stand a chance in there		There are holes in the rocks where the surf surges up.
	Ocean and mountains - what a combination!		I was pretty tickled to catch this shot of a Spouting Horn. A Spouting Horn is a natural wonder which occurs when water rushes under a lava shelf and bursts through a small opening at the surface
	Cape Perpetua is beautiful		Heceta Head Lighthouse is way up on the mountian.
	Another beautiful beach
	You can CLIMB UP to the lighthouse. But it's a half a mile climb and I was too lazy to do it!
	Cheers!!		A beautiful end to a wonderful visit
