More Beach

At the beach everything blooms, always.... the rhodies are ALL over and prolific..
In the coastal range and some in the cascades towards the west side there are wild ones that bloom in May..

We were at Starfish Point, north of Newport. A condo, there were about 6 of them and on all different levels (did i already tell u this)  down to the front door, then down to living room up to kitchen, down to 2nd, main bedroom, the down to sitting areas with views to the beach, 2 balconies... really nice kitchen.... everything was really nice...
down, down, down to beach, stairs and trail, then a river to cross to get to beach, or go along the cliff towards the rocks to the north, but that river widens out and then there was more of it to cross, i never did, did not want to take off my shoes, i think i am getting old and fuddy-duddy.... ;(

sea lions in Newport by the bay... they were rowdy and mad at ones that came later and wanted up on the raft too, lots of bickering.. this was the view from the restaurant where we ate.. later we went down to the docks and watched for awhile

Sacia, Chloe and Nannie

Here are 4 generations!!! (Sacia in blue jacket is my brother's daughter) her mother, grandma and daughter

Crab pots... lots of pots!! There was a funny old guy there too, said we could take pics, but is wanted a pic of him it would cost us... e did not ask hat it would cost....
It is strangely mesmerizing to stand or sit and watch these sea lions bicker and fight and roar... they were just nasty to one another and did NOT want to be disturbed by the late comers!!!!
the ones closest to bottom of the picture, u can tell the shiny one is new, the others have been there long enough to dry off...
there were ones swimming around too, trying to find a place and the ones already there were NOT happy with those newcomers!!

Take Care all and God Bless
