Seduction.....

Sunday was another beautiful, sunny day at the 'White' Cape.....the kind of seductive day that calls to you......"Come walk my trails, my beaches.......watch the light play upon the clouds, the sea, and the rocks giving you a scene you have never seen before......come....by all means, come......".....and, of course, you obey.....


Around 1100 hours we got dressed and headed down to the beginning of the South Cape Trail heeding that siren call born on the winds of Cape Blanco and are immediately rewarded with stunning views up and down the coast......

As I said....stunning views

The South Cape Trail is .75 miles long, but the views along the way make it feel 3 times as long.......


....the fog rolled in and out as we made our way over to the lighthouse, and then down to 'north beach'......


....we don't walk on 'north beach' often as the beach there is much more narrow than 'south beach', and when the tide is in there is no place to walk.....we timed our approach to 'north beach' this day to find the tide at its lowest, and we succeeded.....




......acres of sand to walk upon..........


......as stunning as the views are along 'south beach' they are even more so at 'north beach'.....the rock formations are breathtaking!  In all we walked some 3.6 miles round trip over two hours, but for us the walk seemed timeless.

I took a picture of the sign that welcomes you to the lighthouse.....if you click on the picture you will be able to read the logos of the various 'stakeholders' here.......


We were home in time to watch the Dallas Cowboys at the Philadelphia Eagles.....the Eagles' offense is really offensive, and the Cowboys were not much better for much of the game, but they had it in control late in the game when Tony Romo went down with a broken collarbone....not good for the Cowboys.

Around 1910 hours we walked down to the 'phone booth' to see what magic awaited us at sunset......I took this picture just at the fog rolled in and the sun was setting behind the offshore cloud bank......



.....just magical.....thanks for stopping by!

  1. Although I haven't been commenting much, I've been reading each and every one of your posts from here. Loved the "getting on the road" series, and of course I'm loving the Cape Blanco pics and musings.
