We left Bend with promises to return, but it was time to head west to Junction City (where our coach was "born.")  We had an appointment for some repairs and service, which was done quickly, so we were able to head over to Newport for a couple of days. We had always wanted to visit the Outdoor Resorts there, so were able to get a space for 4 days with a bit of an ocean view...enough of one for us, since the winds were pretty high a couple of nights.   Most of the days were quite foggy, but we still managed to see a lot of the area, as well as to travel up to Depoe Bay where the waves were really crashing one day!

I spent a LOT of time photographing the Yaquina Head Lighthouse in all kinds of lighting/weather. These are a few photos that show the area... I could have spent many more hours just photographing the lighthouses, but this one's my favorite! I always wanted to do a "foggy lighthouse photo."

Halloween 2004

The International Quilt Festival was held again in Houston this month and I was lucky enough to be able to attend with some of my quilting friends from Central Texas.  It's a fabulous quilt show...one that every quilter should attend during their lifetime at least once. Below are a few examples of the artistry we saw..

INCREDIBLE!!!
