I’m still dealing with pretty bad pain from this lame shoulder (no progress on diagnosis yet), so Crystal and I decided to just take a lazy drive up to Lincoln City, turn south on Hwy 229 to Siletz, and back to Newport. There was light rain, pretty good light, and we even saw a herd of elk on the side of the road. I think my favorite photo in today’s dump is the shot of a hummingbird flying away with his little feet sticking down. Adorable!
