A Lighthouse

One of my favorite day trips is the Wind Point Lighthouse near Racine Wisconsin. This lovely and uncrowded spot actually houses the Wind Point Police Station.



I took these this past spring.
What's nice here is that there are flowers and vegetation right on the beach.



It's a really nice drive up Rt 45 and then over to Wind Point. Also nice if there is a lakefront craft fair in Racine  just a few miles away.

I have some totally cool winter pictures of this spot I will post at another time.

Well, Im off to Hartford (Farmington) CT for a short business trip tomorrow.
Brainstorming session with my fellow wizards.

  1. Are you part of the 5 Istari wizards from Lord of Rings? Gandolf, Saruman, Radaphast, or the 2 Blue Wizards that were never discussed?:) Have fun in CT. I bet it's going to be beautiful. I'm always wanted to visit that state.

    Love Racine and the lighthouse. The lake is much nicer during the summer. No humidity and nice cool breezes. Looks like you had a great time. If you get a chance, you should check out the Raley Lighthouse and Point Beach up in Two Rivers. You'll love it. Give yourself a bunch of days to enjoy the lakeshore. Really nice spot to relax and forget the worries of the world. Safe trip!

    1. I tend to resemble more the Mystic, friend to Gelfling foe to Skeksis.

      Thanks for the tip on Raley and Two Rivers, I will definately put those on my list.

  2. What a terrific place to put a police station.. it even has its own look-out tower.
    Have a great time on your travels, Jeanne.
    Be safe and Happy :)

    1. Yeah, it's kind of cool, they have one squad car and squeeky old wood floors. I love it!

  4. Oh dear, I confess that I really am not fond of the comment verification step. It is quite difficult to make out! Could you please consider taking it off? I have found Blogger's spam filter to work splendidly!

    1. Goes to show what an amature blogger I am. I had no idea that was on. I think I turned it off now.
