A few weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday by giving myself the gift of photography in one of the most beautiful locations I've been to: Bandon, Oregon. The west coast is filled with little gems, but this one is in my opinion one of the best. Incredibly beautiful rock formations, perfect weather, wildlife, and far enough from everything so it doesn't get as crowded as other locations.

It was, indeed, the perfect gift.
