Admiralty Head Light House

This very handsome lighthouse stands on Whidbey Island just west of the Keystone Ferry on the grounds of beautiful Fort Casey. The first lighthouse was a wooden structure near this site and was built in 1861. This lighthouse and adjoining building replaced it in 1903. The lighthouse lens is original to the earlier structure. I took this shot on a blue sky Christmas Day when visiting the island with family. You can see other views and read detailed information about the lighthouse and its keepers here.

Morning Walk New Year's Day

7:15 AM January 1, 2011 and I could view the top of Mount Rainier in the distance (can you see it?) with a sliver of moon in the dawn sky. A street light is illuminating a tree still clinging to its leaves and icicle lights adorn a house porch railing. I loved the play of blue, golds and pinks with the dark silhouettes. A promising dawn to the new year. Yes, it WAS super cold so I didn't stop too long in my tracks to snap this :-).

Relaxing Together


Relaxing Together Before the New Year

A crossword puzzle, a good article to read, some warm yummy food on a cold winter day, sheltered in a picturesque 19th century building enjoying the calm before the new year. This is a post card for you from Port Townsend. I visited this beautiful town while on holiday with family and couldn't resist capturing the warm scene this lovely couple and the reflected street scene in the window of a restaurant as we passed by in the cold rain outside.
