Flowers are ubiquitous along the coastal road. So many are invasive exotics, though.
Everlasting pea, an invasive exotic.
Crocosmia, an invasive exotic.
Fennel, another invasive exotic, growing under the US 101 bridge over the Rogue River.
I love all the blackberries, but they’re another invasive. A very delicious invasive.
Susan picks blackberries from the van!

These guys are tougher than me. That water is REAL cold.
Sea lions get some fish!

The Oregon coast has lots of lighthouses, lots of fog, and lots of sand dunes. The diversity continually astonishes.
