Up The Coast A Bit
On Sunday, we took the coast North, starting in North Hampton and then onto Rye which I showed you yesterday. Next on the list was Newcastle.
That sunshine filled Winter day didn't disappoint, and neither did the sights.
Color. Texture. Architecture. History. It's all right here.
The Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, sits at the end of a peninsula that also houses Fort Constitution and the Coast Guard Station.
The Whaleback Lighthouse is further out, at what I guess could be called the entrance to Porstmouth Harbor. It is officially in Kittery, Maine (or Kit-tree as we call it using our best NH/Maine accent- ayuh), just over the border.
I did tell you that the ocean was awash in sparkles. These nearly looked like phosphorescent particles. Quite magical.
I met another model-friend of mine. He not only sat quite still on the railing while Gar stopped the car on the bridge, right along side so I could capture him. He also stayed there while I got a close up of his handsome-self.
I think he's quite spectacular with his mottled feathers, pink legs and golden eye. Seagulls get a bad rap. Sure, you may see them swooping in parking lot for some trash (by the way, who wouldn't swoop for a stray french fry?), but most of the time they are hanging seaside. Not a bad place to call home.
Slowly getting warmer this week. If we hit those 50s like they are predicting, it might be a bit weird, but it will also be welcome.
I didn't get very far on the organizing-the-desk front yesterday. So there will be more of that today among other things. How about you? What's hot in your neck of the woods?
Ciao for now,
