theoutershores’ seventh year concludes with this, my 26th post of 2019. I’ve uploaded lots of images from the Oregon coast and a few from Galiano Island, Salish Sea.

The most visited theoutershores pages this year, as in past years, were Wrack Line, all about the wrack line, drift line, tideline, or whatever you want to call it, with links to annual photo galleries from 2012 to present; Red Algae, with my photographic take and a few words on common reds; and About, which tells my story and what theoutershores is all about. I started two pages this year, Wrack Line 2019, galleries of washed up stuff from throughout the year, and Bivalves, photo galleries and a few words about common clams, mussels, scallops, and the like.
