A Visit to the Seaside

We visited Seaside, Oregon last week and took some photos of a beautiful garden belonging to two of our friends. They live in a converted school house built in the 1900's surrounded by rabbits, acreage, and flowers!   Near their house is a beautiful park and a creek. The weather was more than accommodating that day, and gave us one last glimpse of beautiful, October sun.

Wild bunnies roam free near the house.

Our friends have a lovely fenced garden to keep out the native wildlife!

I was very impressed by Linda's hand-fashioned bean tepee. This is very cottage!  I want to create something similar.

Their Poultry roam with the rabbits

A nice view of the garden and the barn. Linda said her beans and cucumbers did best this past year. Hardly anyone has had much luck with squash and tomatoes.

Some native Oregon wildlife..

This stream runs on the west side of the property and was very full from the rain the night before. I had fun wandering past it, imagining what sort of plants I would grow along the banks had it belonged to me.

These chickens are living the life!

We decided to go for a walk in the park.

I loved these old trees which were dripping with moss.

Banana Slug!

Cute bridge across a stream

We later wandered back to Mike and Linda's house and ate some of these gorgeous apples for breakfast!

These lovely roses grow near the apple trees

This bunny was very bold. He was not afraid to get close for a photo!

And these little babies were just the sweetest.

I want bunnies!

I later found this Red-Belly Newt in a stream. He was like a little dragon!
