路We spent this long weekend camping at Cape Perpetua with some family. The campground there is one of my favorites, barely a half-mile in from the ocean (with a mountain stream that parallels the camping sites providing amazing white noise to sleep to). On both the way down to camping and the way home, we stopped in Depoe Bay to see if we could spot any whales and got exceptionally lucky, seeing several feeding here both times! Didn't get any great pictures unfortunately, but if you can see the spout in this image you should be able to see the whale.
In addition to spending time on a couple of the local beaches (Hobbit, Neptune, and Yachats' very incredible and rocky natural site) we also drove out to Sweet Creek falls, Inland and East of Florence, OR. This is the second time I've done this hike- the kids love it, and there are fiery orange crayfish that live in the pools between the short waterfalls (I didn't take any pictures of them this year, the pic here is from last year- but they were still there and we caught and then released a couple!)
Unlike the purely (mostly) volcanic landscape we're used to in the Portland/SW WA area, these falls run through a combination of basalt and marine sediment.

路Do you know what it is? My wife almost died from a spider bite on the mainland (snake as well but not as bad) so she developed a fear of all spiders and snakes despite our area having very few that can do any serious harm, our encounters with scorpions out west was quite fun for me at least.
It could be a Huntsman spider, but I have never seen one with those markings.

路Exelent mushroom in stews, IF you are a berserker and are out raping and pillaging. If not I recomend chanterelles in stead.
A relative accidentally ate some mushrooms that was not good for her. She had a psycedelic experience, totaly rearranging all her furniture, including a heavy piano. Somewhere in this state of mind she had called some friend on the phone and made no sence. When the friend came over to her place she sat in the bath tub talking into the shower head, trying to call an ambulance. No idea what kind of mushroom she had eaten, but probably nor red agaric, maybe white agaric?
