I took some photos on a recent trip to see family in the North-East, and thought they were worth sharing! We've been to St Mary's Lighthouse many times, and it always looks different depending on the weather.

By comparison, here's a photo I took of the same place when the tide is out!

Beautiful pictures. I cannot tell from the the angle of the pictures but does the tide cover the roadway when it comes in?

Cor, I could fish that :)

The tide does cover the causeway Shellyann, only know that as I googled it to see where it is.

Cracking pics Becky:)

Lovely pics Becky.
Bumblebees love the colour blue has anyone else noticed this? Hang up your washing and they seem to be attracted to blue jeans.:)

Why thank you zigs for the info. I wonder what it would feel like to be stranded there in the high tide during a storm..... Rather scary thought!

You took some beautiful photos. I especially like the closeup of the purple flower and the bee.
That lighthouse looks beautiful and well maintained.
But I agree that it sucks that there's no road sometimes.
Your photos look professional , like a lovely travel brochure.

Fantastic! I love light house photos! Never tire of them. I have a friend who is a wonderful amateur photographer and she takes pictures quite regularly of a lighthouse near her home. You're absolutely right....each day it's a little different, and every scene is just as lovely as the next!

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm glad you liked the photos :) I like taking close up shots, the depth of field always makes it look good!

Those are beautiful! Thistle is a beautiful plant, despite how spiny it is. Your pictures compliment it so well! Nicely done.

I have a photo of the Portland Headlight in ME...took it from the base, looking up. Pretty neat.
