the Lighthouse

So...
I am currently out of town. Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been around or responding to comments; well, that would be why. Or maybe none of you noticed, and I just thing too highly of myself. I probably do think too highly of myself, but that doesn't mean that absolutely none of you noticed.

Anyway...!

Back in February, my wife abducted me for my birthday. We went out to Point Reyes, and you can see all the stuff from that if you go back and read the posts. However, what we didn't do was go out to the lighthouse. Even if we'd had the time, it was raining that day and too windy and the lighthouse was closed. I suppose there's a chance that people could get blown off the path down to it. At any rate, we finally took a trip to see the lighthouse back in April, so, while I'm gone away, you can look at some of the pictures.

  1. I tried to climb Hatteras once, too much for me unfortunately.

  2. Gorgeous photos. What is that strange looking animal crossing the road? A deer?

    1. JKIR,F!: It's a kind of elk that was almost made extinct a while back. I'll have to look up the name again; I can't remember at the moment.

  6. Those are great pics. What's the skull?

    I like that tree leaning over the road.

    1. Briane: It's a whale skull. That's a good whale watching spot. Unfortunately, we didn't see any.

  7. It's good to get away and you got away to a cool looking place. A better day to visit from the looks of things, though having the risk of being blown off a path might have been memorably exciting if you survived.

    My two month getaway begins this upcoming weekend as we head back east to see family. Maybe I'll remember to take some pictures.

  8. Your past abduction looked pretty nice. I've never been to a lighthouse. Always wanted to see one. Wouldn't expect to find one here in landlocked Colorado, though.

    Enjoy your current abduction! (Assuming, of course, your vacations are just all wife-related kidnappings)

    1. ABftS: It was my first lighthouse. I hope to visit more.

      There will be stuff from the trip we just returned from at some point.
