Here is a pic I took on the way home from Gold Beach Oregon this morning.

Fish
You lucky dog, you
The photo captured the feel. Beautiful. Gave me the feel of being back again...... could almost feel the mist. I know the feel.

By way of a little background on me "knowing the feel" of the PNW. I lived in WA for 5 years, and OR for 15 years. Seeing "time" in Everett, WA, Pullman, Wa, Pendleton (actually Adams), OR, and Corvallis, OR. (My 2 children were born in Walla Walla, WA...... good onions, good fruit.....

Memories, memories, memories..... I thought my heart was ripped out when I was forced to move on to MT. Could I pick a favorite spot on the coasts of WA and OR (OR coast is much nicer than WA)? I started making a list, and realized that I could not stop listing :)

highway 101 especially in off season
CA redwoods (in your neck of the woods, huh?)
ocean during and after a storm.....
watching Devils Churn
salmon fishing off the Columbia bar.....
camping at Cape Blanco (my favorite coast park)
picking agates
always liked Yachets
back packing on the coast by Ozette, WA

Cheers, thanks for the picture
