We have been spending a lot of time outdoors visiting the area. Seaside is just as lovely as we remember it. We walked along Seaside's Promenade along the beach and then around the downtown area. So here are a few of the sights we saw on one walk...
Quaint gingerbread style beach houses...
Love birds in the garden.
People and birds mingling together.

Psst! Can I have the extra coffee?

Retro and bright colors....
Along with lighthouse style buildings adds a wonderful festive feel to the downtown area.
We stopped by the Carousel Mall to watch the carousel.
Flowers everywhere....
We visited the
Ecola State Park south of Seaside on Hwy 101 and just north of Cannon Beach.
We had a great view of the
Tillamook Rock Lighthouse. The story of building the lighthouse and maintaining it is quite a defeat against weather and sea.

Last, but not least...this little guy was sitting pretty on what looks like a dry Queen Anne's Lace flower. He is missing patches of feathers, but that seems to add to his character.
