I too have a thing for lighthouses. I cannot stop myself from taking pictures of one even if it is one I passed (and took pictures of) just the previous day. While visiting my father-in-law in Maine we took a walk around Beauchamp Point between Rockport and Camden. I decided not to bring my camera since we had done the walk before, but near the end I found a tiny path to a tiny park looking out over Camden Harbor with a beautiful view of the Camden Harbor Lighthouse. Even though we were supposed to leave for the airport in about an hour, I felt I just had to go back to her father's place, get my camera, and return to get pictures of the lighthouse.

Trees of Mystery is a roadside attraction in Klamath, California 36 miles south of the Oregon border. Trees of Mystery is best known for the 49-foot-tall statue of Paul Bunyan and the 35-foot-tall Babe the Blue Ox, both of which are visible from Highway 101. Look closely and you can see DH sitting on P.B. 's foot holding our dog with DS standing beside him.

Maybe something to do with water! Is there any discussion of removing the dam? Seems like that is the way many dams are going these days.

Schoolhouse - I don't remember what kind of tea I had. There were many different types to choose from and I love Earl Grey so that could have been it. Yorkshire Gold sounds good. Now that I'm trying to cut calories, I think a visit to a specialty tea store is in order, where I can treat myself to an intriguing flavor without the guilt. I love your "statues" photo with the kitty peeking out!
