For Yolanda

 (Haystack Rock - Cannon Beach, OR)
The last couple of days I've been working at the coast.  Yesterday afternoon as I was approaching a favorite spot of Yolanda at Giving it a Shot, I decided to stop and take a couple of photos for her.  She's going through a difficult battle and I thought this might brighten her outlook these days. 

We all need a Rock in life.  Haystack is always there even when it's covered in fog and we can't see it. It's always there.

Yolanda, your positive attitude in spite of what you're going through is an inspiration to many.  I hope these photos don't make you homesick.  Just remember, you'll be back soon.

  5. How sweet of you Mike - those are beautiful images. I hope to see that rock in person one day.... reminds me of God - He's our Rock - even when we don't see Him - He's always there!

  6. This rock has such an enormous presence when you are in front of it - it has a life of its own, within the rock, the tidal pools all around it, a delicate ecosystem all to itself, like a mini-planet. And yet, that rock can disappear before you. It is a force, and you can always feel its presence, even in the heaviest of fogs. I've had many conversations with God right here. I feel the closest to Him when I am right here.
