Valentines Day




Lori and I have been " out of Pocket " for the past two days . Unable to
post to FB or Blog , so we both of us have some catching up to do .
Bob and Susan Tuesday Morning . Lori and I had decided that we would
celebrate Valentines Day , by having lunch at the Sea Hag , and then going into
Newport and purchasing some Fresh Crab Dockside . We had some Steaks so we would
prepare a Valentines Day feast at home.
With a few available hours before Lunch I drove down to Fogarty Creek Beach
, the tide was out and I was able to get some nice shots of waves , boulders ,
and tide pool animals . The day was much colder than the past days and there was
an occasional spiting of rain and even a little bit of Hail .
Met some interesting people on the beach and they had some questions about
the Geology of the area which I was able to help them with ...Patting myself on
the back for remembering my College Geology Classes and field trips to this area
.
Oregon Geology is fascinating especially the Coastal Area Geology..and it
has been fun remembering and Googling it just to make sure I have it down right
.
By the time I got back to the house I was really winded ..the long hike
back on the soft sand had really worn me out , especially when I sprinted to
keep the cameras dry when the hail storm hit .
Lori and I drove down to the Sea Hag , its in Depot Bay and one of our
favorite Coastal Restaurants , we had a side of Fried Clams , I had the Grilled
Oysters , and Lori had a Shrimp Salad Croissant ..both meals were consumed and
appreciated .
We drove into Newport to find some fresh crab. Several of the Road side
crab places were closed , and one was way over priced , but we did find our crab
at the Local Safeway store , and also two Lobster Tails at a great price .
...
It was a few hours before dinner so Lori took a bath and I kept a watch on
the weather . Huge clouds were building up over the horizon heading both North
and South ...I watched two storm fronts from different directions collide
almost over my head . what a view .!!!
Lori and I settled down for a wonderful feast of Dungenous Crab , Lobster
and Steak with Fresh Asparagus. Was a wonderful Valentines day !!!
