Blessings of the Day-Aug 6

We saw alot of these flowers along the road even in the fog. They were so pretty I had Mel stop to take a picture of it. We also saw large bushes of flowers- purple. I think they may have been hydrangias
As we drove along the coast Rt 101 today we could get views of the ocean. It was nice but would have loved some sunshine to view it with. They said down in California, we will get the sun along the coast.
We drove to the coast to Newport, Oregon. We had a ocean view motel. This is the view we had out the window. They said it was very foggy and dreary all day. We could hear the ocean when we opened the window. Temp was 56 degrees.
I really enjoyed the hanging baskets of flowers in the west. We started noticing them in Idaho. They are like big balls.
Made it to Oregon. A real quick picture as we passed under it.
Mt St Helens- was a litle more hazy. The one guy said he doesn't know if it is just hazy, or smog from Portland or smoke from fires.
Picture of Mt Rainier taken yesterday.
