theoutershores’ seventh year concludes with this, my 26th post of 2019. I’ve uploaded lots of images from the Oregon coast and a few from Galiano Island, Salish Sea.
Northern Oregon coast | November 
Galiano Island, Salish Sea | August
The most visited theoutershores pages this year, as in past years, were Wrack Line, all about the wrack line, drift line, tideline, or whatever you want to call it, with links to annual photo galleries from 2012 to present; Red Algae, with my photographic take and a few words on common reds; and About, which tells my story and what theoutershores is all about. I started two pages this year, Wrack Line 2019, galleries of washed up stuff from throughout the year, and Bivalves, photo galleries and a few words about common clams, mussels, scallops, and the like.

Thanks for another year of posts. Perhaps you should include more quizzes, as you did in Morning Mirror, to see if we’re paying attention! 😉 Happy New Year!
Yes, that’s a great idea Margaret, more quizzes! Happy New Year to You!
The sunset shot of the Yaquina Bridge is utterly breathtaking. And the Morning Mirror reflected beach and sky scene… wow! You’ve definitely captured the ‘right’ moments. Makes me fall in love again with our extraordinary coast. Happy 2020!
Thanks a bunch. Wishing you the best in 2020!
I enjoyed looking back at these images. You really have an eye for what’s beautiful.
Hi Trish, Thanks a lot for the kind compliment. You have that too, and an ear for it.
ps- I followed your new site.
