The Oregon coastal forest was on display Monday morning at Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site in Lincoln City. The parking lot is rimmed with towering fir and spruce trees and, with the sun rising in the east, the morning show is quite spectacular. We were there to photograph shore birds and I had pared down my camera bag for the morning shoot. When Moose asked me if I was going to photograph the stunning view, I grabbed my at-the-ready Nikon Z50 with its Nikkor 16-50mm lens and captured the daylight breaking through.
