Fifty shades of green

We finally left Washington state yesterday. We seriously considered to settle in Seattle as it is such a great place to be, but we have to continue our journey. We said goodbye to Stephanie and her beautiful house on the sea and headed south to Oregon on the Scenic Pacific Byway. As soon as we crossed the border, it started to rain… no surprise, Oregon is the state with the highest rainfall… and it rained and rained, all day and night. The coast is spectacular, rocks scattered on the shores, cliffs, huge waves, sand dunes and immense beaches. But the most amazing is the green, everywhere, in all shades. We saw trees growing on sand dunes: firs, spruces or pine trees, not sure, cannot make the difference, for me a tree is a tree like a flower is a flower… and we saw lots of flowers, colours everywhere, simply gorgeous. We drove the 350 miles plus down the coast and were just sorry not to be able to explore more… we walked on a beach for ten minutes and ended up soaked… the sky of Oregon was fifty shades of grey this weekend…
