We took DLWS to the Oregon Coast (My stomping grounds) in June. With the long hours of daylight, the persnickety Oregon weather and the biggest group ever…the Photo Gods smiled and gave us some magical moments. We departed the hotel three of the six shoots in torrential rain only to arrive at our destination and have the clouds part, rainbows and amazing landscapes to be found wherever we turned.

We began DLWS at Charleston Harbor where there are many wonderful old fishing boats with tons of charachter.

This old, weathered boat looks towards Coquille River Lighthouse…memories of days gone by.
