There is something about light houses that calls to me.
I dream of living in one when I need time alone.
Can you imagine taking a pile of books, some good nibbles and tea,
a comfy quilt, pillows and just hiding away for a time?
Light draws us in.
We look at the moon and we smile.
When spring time comes along we revel in having more light and color.
I have always wanted to take a light house tour of the east coast,
because I thought that was where the best lighthouses resided.
Recently, just this year, I have visited three on the west coast that delighted me.
They still send out their warning of a shore nearby to ships going by.
But in the meantime they sit in sweet, quiet splendor showing us the way.
Do you dream of time away?
Would it be in a lighthouse?
Each lighthouse is on the coast of Oregon.
The first is just north of Oceanside,
the second at Port Townsend,
and the third on Whidbey Island.
Lighthouses are so neat and symbolic. Such a neat post.
ReplyDeleteLight houses spark an imagination of a different lifestyle! Not sure it is for me - perhaps for a quick visit. Love the variety of these three west coast light houses.
ReplyDeleteNice post.I love lighthouses. I grew up beside one.
ReplyDeleteI did a lighthouse tour of my region in Eastern Canada. I visited 13 lighthouses. I did a blog post on them last month "The Lighthouses of Gaspé."
I also visited 2 on the West coast of Canada while visiting my son in Vancouver last Fall. I will post it after Easter.
Have a Happy Easter. Thelma.
I really love visiting them too - we have some really special ones here on the east coast - come see them some day Marilyn, you'd be impressed. I've climbed a couple, doubt I could do all those stairs these days though!
ReplyDeleteRecently Thelma's blog had a tour of three posts about Nova Scotia/eastern Canadian lighthouses. They were fascinating. I love them too -- this is a pretty one, Marilyn. I don't know if I'd like to live in one but it would be fun to do one a a B&B.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!
ReplyDeleteOooo...this was beautiful... and fun too! I've always had a special liking for lighthouses, and a desire to stay overnight in one. Hasn't happened yet, but hopefully one day... would love that! There's just something really romantic about a house like that by the seas, the whole thing with light and keeping watching... ((HUGS))
