A different way to see Newport, Oregon!

When I was a kid, I had a red toy tractor that looked exactly like the one in this photo I took recently in Newport, Oregon. It's interesting how some things come full circle! The Yaquina Bay is full of visual surprises, like the salmon that were jumping in the backround the day this photo was taken last week.

This was shot looking toward the west from the widest part of Yaquina Bay. From here you can see the Bayfront and the new NOAA facility. That large (barely visible) white ship in the center backround is a research vessel that just came in from Alaska after being out at sea for over six months. Just around the bend beyond the harbor is the beautiful Yaquina Bay Bridge.

Something you should know about! Next week on Dec. 3rd is the "Lighted Boat Parade" which is a magical evening sail of boats decorated with Christmas Lights, which will light up the bay behind this tractor. They serve hot chocolate as you sail under the bridge and around the bay over sparkling night water. It is one of the finest holiday traditions in our area!

Newport is a great place to live and work! Contact me for more information about a primary or secondary home on the coast.
