I like the warmness of the picture. I like the rays of the sun in the image. I like the colors in the sky.
Today, grandson, Joshua, and I went to the Pt. Loma lighthouse and preserve. We had such a wonderful time, and enjoyed a picnic lunch while looking at and listening to the waves crash on the shore.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse stood watch over the entrance to San Diego Bay for 36 years. At dusk on November 15, 1855, the light keeper climbed the winding stairs and lit the light for the first time. What seemed to be a good location 422 feet above sea level, however, had a serious flaw. Fog and low clouds often obscured the light. On March 23, 1891, the light was extinguished and the keeper moved to a new lighthouse location closer to the water at the tip of the Point.
Point Cabrillo has the most complete light station in America. The Third Order Fresnel Lens was lit for the first time on June 10, 1909 and continues to operate today as a federal aid to navigation. It is maintained by U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary unit 87. The lighthouse is located in the 300-acre Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park.

It rained overnight, so I had plenty of waterdrops to play with this morning before I went to work (slightly late).
I'm not entirely sure what these are on - something 'bulby' that hasn't opened up yet. I'm hoping it might turn out to be an Agapanthus because I love those.
If there are 365 days in 2010, I think this picture must officially mark my half-way point on my 'picture a day' exercise.

Standing between the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, towards Cape Point. The trail to get here was actually closed off on the day I was there... But I guess I didn't see the sign saying "closed trail" Whoops!

Dead Horse Point State Park is a state park of Utah in the United States, featuring a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. The park is so named because of stories of ancient hunters, resting along the cliff tops while knapping chert in preparation for the next hunt, and cowboys of the late 1800’s, chasing wild mustangs onto Dead Horse Point, using the narrow neck to block off the natural corral

About Point Roberts:
Point Roberts, Washington is a mix of down home, small town charm and International consciousness. Only 20 minutes from Vancouver International airport and not much longer from downtown Vancouver, BC. Many full-time residents are consultants, inventors, scientists, writers, artists and virtual business owners who enjoy the natural beauty, peace and relaxed pace in between global travels.
A geopolitical oddity, Point Roberts is a part of the United States that is not physically connected to it, making it a pene-exclave of the U.S. It is located on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, and can be reached by land from the rest of the United States only by traveling through Canada. It can be reached directly from the rest of Washington and the U.S. by crossing Boundary Bay by sea or air.
Fresh air, miles of trails through ancient forests, miles of natural beaches, ocean kayaking, sailing, biking, hiking, photography and sighting the thriving eagle community and visits from J-Pod Orca whales can be enjoyed by everyone.
Organic gardening is a big deal at the Point Roberts Garden Club which has an annual tour that showcases a breathtaking array of gardens. Their site has "must see" pictures of previous tours and funds raised each year go towards community beautification projects.
Along Artist Ridge Trail
Artist Point is located in northwest Washington State, at the end of the Mount Baker Scenic Highway. At an elevation of 5,000 feet, Artist Point is an area of exceptional beauty.
The Point Wilson Lighthouse, near Port Townsend Washington, marks the entrance to the Puget Sound at Admiralty Inlet.
This lighthouse has been an active aid to maritime navigation since the day its Fourth Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1914.
The nautical charts show this lighthouse at 51' tall, casting an alternating white / red flash every 5 seconds visible for 15 miles.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
