Oregon Coast Near Eugene


 

These sandy dunes contained numerous inflows and pools

The wind was fierce, and sand sifted across the dunes like streams

 

Even in December you can still find Russula brevipes
.

 

 

 

 

Like a painting...

 

 

 

Lichens are especially prevalent in these areas. This is probably Usnea.

Huge foliose lichens!
