Two Maine Lighthouses

80 degrees in Maine? Even more reason to get outdoors and enjoy a sliver of all the outdoor activity/attraction options. We explored one of the 3 L's that Maine is known for- Lighthouses! (I recently read that in a tourist magazine. Can you guess what the other 2 L's refer to? Lobsters and L.L. Bean.)

We visited two lighthouses that are a hop, skip and jump away from each other. "Bug Light" was the first one. 



I always love seeing people out and about - they were savoring the beautiful summer-like weather as well! Some were relaxing on the benches, while others animating the sky with their kites.



I've never seen a kite as big as the colorful, spiky blob in the background!






Interesting textures...


Feels like summer... things starting to bloom, and beautifully!





Another angle of "Bug Light."


And now folks, the second lighthouse, Spring Light.










The forts in the distance.



Maybe headed to get some of that other L, Lobster, ha.


Up close of Spring Light. Love that it's still supporting Christmas tree lights!


Distant view of another lighthouse (one of the most photographed ones). Can you guess it? Portland Head Light. Will be visiting you very soon. Can't wait!



Great day getting outside and Cherishing the Little. Thanks so much for journeying with me through exploring my post.

First Snow

We finally got our first snow of the year in North Carolina! I woke up to the beautiful golden sun illuminating the white stuff. Nature's beauty continuously amazes me. 


The beautiful glow coming in the sliding door made for great lighting.

Rainy Days

Rainy days are nature's way of refueling us. They encourage us to enjoy life for the quieter and simpler things...

... Like relaxing and doing absolutely nothing! 
... Getting lost in your favorite novel or movie.
... Or, being somewhat productive and completing errands we've put on hold. 

While we were tackling our growing To Do List, I took a few minutes to CHERISH nature getting refueled.









By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, 
as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity. 
- Robert Heinlein





Thanks for reading my post. Would love your feedback!
