I am uploading this shot for Jodi who loves fence posts and when I seen it I automaticly thought of her. It was the only one that was left on the old farm where I took the last barn picture. Have a great Friday all!
This was taken not very long after I first shaved my head to mark my 30th birthday. I wanted to do something outlandish, so off came the long hair.
I have had short hair ever since and think I look more male.
The glasses are for reading purposes but I rarely use them.
My sister, her boyfriend & I left for a 4 day sailing trip in the San Juan Islands on Saturday with North Pender Island in the Canadian Gulf Islands planned as our final destination.
It started off very bad with 3-6 foot waves and lots of wind as we started crossing Bellingham Bay. I went below deck to pick up some things that had fallen over & commented that it smelled like gas. One of the gas cans was leaking gas and so we tightened it up and only a very small amount leaked. I stayed below deck though not realizing how bad the fumes really were (you don't smell a smell after a few minutes ya know). I started feeling sick and thought it was from the rough seas though I've never gotten sea sick before. My sister came down below and told me to get out of the cabin immediately as the gas fumes were very strong.
I went up and began feeling worse and worse. If you looked up "ILL" in the dictionary there should have been a picture of my miserable face. After an hour or so I came back around. Jeremy later told me that he was contemplating turning the boat around to take me to the hospital as I had no color in my face and my lips were white rather than pink. I've never been to the hospital for myself (born at home even) so I'm glad it wasn't necessary.
We escaped the rough seas by going to nearby Chuckanut Bay but our Canadian destination was thwarted by the change in course. By later in the afternoon I felt completely fine and the weather turned beautiful. We went on to have a fantastic 4 days in the San Juans going to the Outer Islands of Sucia & Matia with the Canadian Gulf Islands in sight but just out of reach. I've been promised a sailing trip to Canada for next summer. woohoo!
And I'm a terrible candidate to be a gas huffer.

A formidable coastguard and signal station situated on Torr Head, County Antrim, and the closest point on the island of Ireland to Scotland at 19km away.
Built in 1822, the accommodation or barrack block is situated in the low ground behind the rock where the signal station is built. The barracks would have housed coastguard personnel and their families as they operated shifts, or watches, in the signal station. In 1920 the barracks and station were raided by a large IRA group who stole weapons, ammunition and other equipment. The set light to the barracks before they departed, worried that it would be used to accommodate British auxiliary troops fighting against the Republican Army in their struggle. None of the coastguard families were reported injured in the raid, but the barracks was abandoned after that.
On top of the hill stands the signal station on the site of a much earlier structure and beacon. What remains today is a complex little site, exposed to the Irish marine weather, but one that is remarkable intact. The keepers cottage sits in the middle of a stone wall compound, with a small observation post to the front, and a double latrine to the rear. There are other tantalising artefacts around the site such as a "Post Office Telephone" manhole cover, numerous stay fasts for flagpoles or antennae, a possible signal lamp mount, and a wooden latrine seat in one of the cubicles.
Both the barracks and signal station are on agricultural land, with open access to the signal station. There is a car park at the base of the hill.

Headed back to the car parked behind the church. We missed out on a spot at the camp ground at Dour so we set up our tents in the forecourt of the church. I slept in the car. Glorius spine the morning after

I know these last few, although posted over a week, were all taken on the same day, but we've not had great weather here and I'm supposed to be training for a 10K in the evenings :)
However, I did get out yesterday evening in the nice sunset we had and popped off about 200 I think around the river near to us, so will have a sort through and see what's there.
