The one where we visit Portland Head Light.

.

Scoring one for two on the lighthouse tour, we headed for Maine’s most famous, Portland Headlight.

.

.

With a stop at the adjacent Fort Williams park for a quick walk on the beach. .

.

.

Up the hill, the lighthouse comes into view. Built in 1791, it’s Maine’s oldest.

.

.

It’s easy to see why this is such a popular tourist destination.

.

.

The views are amazing,

.

.

And positively scream for selfies.

.

.

The light house.

The light, as seen in the onsite museum .

These are the money shots.

.

.

The ones from which picture perfect postcards are made.

.

.

The required family shot.

Destructive, but oh… so cool!

I have a pretty pink hanging geranium on our back deck.

.

.

I love it, but apparently I’m not the only one.

.

.

Something has been eating the leaves and I finally found the culprit.

.

.

He’s tiny, but is really doing a number to my plant.

.

.

Bizarre, yet beautiful.

.

.

I’m fascinated by these freaky things.

.

.

After a little research… I discovered he’s much prettier in caterpillar form.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten, caught mid -stalk.

It’s been an unusually wet summer and while this time of year usually finds our lawn dry and crunchy, the grass is verdant green.

.

.

Which shows off the rainbows to perfection.

.

.

I don’t care if it tastes good, the can alone would make me try it.

I could never make decent shadow figures when I was young, but I found this recently and wanted to share. The spider looks like a scorpion and the puppy resembles a hippo but they’re still better than I ever managed.

Mr. Hawk is back and has discovered a power line perch.

.

.

Whether that’s a very brave or very stupid dove has yet to be determined.

.

Another rainbow.
