Field Trip: Astoria, Part Two

I mentioned on Monday that Astoria reminded me of San Francisco. The day was clear, sunny and crisp with a gusty bay breeze. There were hilly streets with historic Victorian homes and a thriving art scene. I was camera happy all day between the rainbow painted utility meters to the garbage cans with vintage typography and the bridge, oh the bridge! Enjoy more of my Astoria photographs! colorful utility meters astoria oregon

Tell me, are you about to book a vacation to Astoria now?

P.S. While I was editing the very last photo in this post, I though there was a lot of dust in it.

As I zoomed in, I realized every "speck of dust" was a bird in flight! Cool! :-)

Field Trip: Astoria

This weekend, two little dreams came true: I went on a field trip to Astoria and I got to ride in a Mini Cooper. My mother-in-law Betty arrived from CA Friday night and was game to go exploring on Saturday with me. She rented the car and we had a super fun day! I hope you enjoy these photos of a pretty store's outdoor display and all the old signage that can be seen in historic Astoria, Oregon. turquoise metal patio table two chairs retail styling astoria oregon

I will have more photos to share so I'll post those on Wednesday. I hope you'll return to see the rest. Have you ever been to Astoria? It really reminded me of San Francisco.
