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.
Loved the walk and the beautiful water scenes!
ReplyDeleteToo much walking though, just so you know haha
DeleteIt's a trap!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you live, man? Looks like an awesome place to me.
Could be a big trap hmmm. Live nearby lots of water.
DeleteThat was a fun adventure. I enjoyed all the photos. I am fascinated by lighthouses. I once went to a haunted one. I kid you not.
ReplyDeleteDid the ghosts come out to play?
DeleteThey did indeed...
DeleteAre they lobster traps?
DeleteYep, tons and tons of lobster traps.
DeleteSo pretty; so green! I enjoyed your directions. Even if I had gotten lost, I'm still thinking the views would be great around me!
ReplyDeletebetty
Sure lots to view if one does get lost.
DeletezNumber one!
ReplyDeleteLove those pic
Beats SJW chicks in flicks
Just so you know
At that kitty cat show
Works for me
DeleteAt our sea
And I'll raise you a Scooby Dooweeeeh!
DeleteJust so you know
At that Kitty Cat Show
Works indeed
DeleteAt any feed
Good thing boats float.
ReplyDeleteSome sink right into the drink
DeleteWhat beautiful pictures. Is that one of the Great Lakes? I'm so jealous of your views!
ReplyDeleteNo great lakes to be had near our pad.
DeleteBeautiful pictures. Remind me of the Oregon Coast. (As opposed to our flat, sandy beaches here.)
ReplyDeleteFor 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!
Sure not flat here. I'm more landmarks, but now I can do both after being out and about so much.
DeleteI guess we've been seeing a lot of similar views lately!!!! Thanks for taking us with you on the journey.
ReplyDeleteSome I would rather pass on as getting there isn't the funniest haha
DeleteWhat a beautiful walk at your sea!
ReplyDeleteEven if lead wrong, still a nice place to be!
Still plenty to see
DeleteFrom sea to tree
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.
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
Elsie
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
DeleteI enjoyed the tour and did not trip over any traps along the way. A long walk on a short pier.
ReplyDeleteLovely
Good to avoid the traps and short piers.
DeleteLighting The Way!
ReplyDeleteBalanced for the day
There's greenery
And also the sea
So also having a say
Hank
Much to see
DeleteLit and fly free
What a super place for a walk with all those wonderful views. Can't think of anything
ReplyDeletebetter. You have a super day Pat.
Sure great views are had at many a spot.
DeleteIt was great to see all these beautiful places! The lighthouse is very lovely. Thank your for the walk :-)
ReplyDeleteNot sure why people want to go see it though, but hey, to each their own.
DeleteI love the outside photos. We're going to visit a lighthouse this summer. My first ever. I'm kind of geeked about it. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess I take them for granted, as at least 2 here with easy access.
DeleteYes, it does delight me! I love lighthouses....so charming! It's especially fun to
ReplyDeleteclimb stairs to the top and enjoy the view. Love your photos....and those clouds are
amazing!
Can sure enjoy the view indeed. The clouds off the dock was probably the favorite one I got.
DeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteAs long as one can find their way back then they aren't lost anyway, so have at it and have fun indeed.
DeleteBeautiful pictures and I love the meandering path to the lighthouse. It let us take in all the other fabulous sights. I love being near the water. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
Sure can see a lot taking the scenic route.
DeleteThis looks really beautiful Pat, have a nice time with the cats !
ReplyDeleteWill do at our zoo
DeleteWhat a wonderful place to walk to. I really loved the picture with all the tree's. The water is so relaxing. Loving the pictures.
ReplyDeleteUnless super windy and rainy, then the water isn't so relaxing.
DeleteWhat beautiful photos. I enjoyed the journey as well as the destination. I have collected a few lighthouse models (of those I have visited) which I have on my mantle. Nice memories!
ReplyDeleteNever knew they made lighthouse models. Sure plenty to visit here.
DeleteWhen you talk about 'your shore', you aren't joking. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeletehaha yep, plenty of shore here.
Deleteorlin N cassie; manee thank ta dad pat for sharin thiz walk; it bee awesum N sew iz wear ewe livez....we iz total lee wantin ta live by de sea like thiz.....two much $$$$$$$ tho....N make a lite houz.... a home..... way kewl :) ♥♥
ReplyDeletesa ~wheat !! :)
Yep, the closer your view to the water, the more $$$ it is. Plus, lots more burds by the water haha
DeleteI can't read a map
ReplyDeleteThey're useless as crap
But I guess crap has a digestive use
For maps, there's just no excuse.
Out it comes
DeleteFrom many bums
The visuals did delight me:) And if I give directions....it's wise to go the opposite way. Heh.
ReplyDeletehaha I'll remember that
