Lighting The Way!

So I was out and about, not that I wanted to be, but I was, and I was asked for directions to a lighthouse. Their map was sure screwy, so I gave them a much better way. They were sure to find it in no time at all.


The water's mist will point the way at the beginning of each new day.


The trees will bend and form and shake. Then your next choice you will make.


The clouds won't say a single thing, but those rocks will show you what to bring.


Sand in one pocket. Sand in two. Oh, let's fock it and put it in your shoe.


Now follow it to the nearby dock. Let the sand out and it's a lock.


Not, not that dock. The one above. Listen. Don't talk.


I told you not to go that way. Listen and no swamps will come your way.


Are we back to another dock? Maybe you need to take a walk.


I said walk. Not ride. Come on, pick up your stride.


And now you've hit a dead end. You need a better sense of direction, my friend.


Forget the boats already. They're a trap. Follow my words and not the map.


Now you're finally listening to me. You've found the tall grass and soon you will see.


Nope. Wrong kind of sea. The lighthouse is further down, gee.


Now you've got it. You're just about there. Well step up to it. Don't stop and stare.


Look in awe and all that stuff. Sometimes maps just aren't enough.

I may or may not have gave better directions than that, but hey, here are some visuals and I channeled the cat. And yeah, more water to see. Doesn't that just delight thee? Ever searched for a lighthouse or given directions? I may have sent a few to different sections, but not any more. Sadly, I know where everything is near our shore. And now you know where to find the lighthouse near here too. Don't say I never helped you. In case you forgot though...

The water's mist will point the way at the beginning of each new day.

  6. What beautiful pictures. Is that one of the Great Lakes? I'm so jealous of your views!

  7. Beautiful pictures. Remind me of the Oregon Coast. (As opposed to our flat, sandy beaches here.)

    For directions, I need street names. People here like to give landmarks. "Turn left at the water tower and then right when you see the five cows." Ack!

    1. Sure not flat here. I'm more landmarks, but now I can do both after being out and about so much.

  9. What a beautiful walk at your sea!

  10. Well, you know me, I love the water. Doesn't matter if it's the ocean, a lake, a pond, or a river, I find it soothing. The only water I don't like is a flood. And I guess puddles. Not a lot of fun for me there.

    Those sights you shared are beautiful! You live in such an amazing place. I'd say I picture you lounging by the sea but I know better.

    1. Can sure find you plenty of that here. Yeah, no lounging by it. Too many bugs and boring and blah. Fish poop. Who needs it? lol

  15. I love the outside photos. We're going to visit a lighthouse this summer. My first ever. I'm kind of geeked about it. :)

    1. Can sure enjoy the view indeed. The clouds off the dock was probably the favorite one I got.

  17. I'm not sure I'd be very good following your directions, but sometimes half the fun is getting lost and finding cool things you wouldn't have if you stayed on course. Great shots!

    1. As long as one can find their way back then they aren't lost anyway, so have at it and have fun indeed.

    1. Unless super windy and rainy, then the water isn't so relaxing.

  24. I can't read a map
    They're useless as crap
    But I guess crap has a digestive use
    For maps, there's just no excuse.

  25. The visuals did delight me:) And if I give directions....it's wise to go the opposite way. Heh.
