Hi Sally, I find light houses very interesting. We in the coastal areas are so lucky to have light houses. I even climbed up to the top on a very narrow staircase. I love the reds!
So beautiful and so clean looking. So pleasing to the senses.
Have a great week.
That is a very pretty little light house.
What a wonderful set of pictures! All of your last posts are so well-captured and informative, thanks for sharing!
God bless you!

Very nice pictures. The lighthouse seems so small it almost reminds me of a playhouse.
I love lighthouses and I would love to be in one during a violent storm.
I love lighthouses. John and I have pictures of one in Virginia and Chicago. The one in Chicago you had to ride a boat to see it up close. Your photos are beautiful. Have a great night.
I love that lighthouse! Have been there and your shots capture it perfectly! Great post, Sally!
Have a great week!

There's just something romantic about lighthouses. This one is gorgeous. Thanks for showing us, Sally!
Great photos of one very beautiful lighthouse.
That is wonderful to see.. what is strange I should of seen this at some time...as my sis lived in Mukilteo!!
The architecture of both the buildings are interesting.
Beautiful world.
That lighthouse looks like a miniature, only 36 steps?
Great captures Sally.
A lovely place! I would love to live in the keeper's cottage.
That is a darling lighthouse! We love touring them when we find them - we were just on a boat tour in Chicago & got to see their lighthouse - I guess they don't have anyone living there to take care of it anymore (fully automatic now) because the last keeper had too many wild parties there - what a hoot!!
A beautiful light house!
Sally: That is a wonderful old lighthouse. I love to see them.
Neat photos. I, like most people, LOVE lighthouses. ;-)
