Day #270- Psychodelic

Another iPhone picture- this one from the local Apple store! Dropped by this weekend while at the mall. They have this interesting display in the front window. The spheres come in a rainbow of colors, apparently all the colors that the new iPhone5 comes in. Groovy, man!

Day #269- White Mums

Purchased these mums last weekend. A great bargain, and so big and healthy too!

Day #268- Breakwater

Another photo from last weekend's getaway. We walked almost a mile out on the breakwater to get to the lighthouse. As luck would have it, the lighthouse has been renovated and was open to the public. It first opened in the early 1900's. It's pretty amazing to think of the hard work that must have gone in to building it all! (Also continue to marvel at the quality of my iPhone for pictures!)

Day #267- Mini-Cairn

Delicately balanced, this cairn was likely built by several hikers. One portion of the trail must have contained over 60 single cairns like this one! A sign of the hiking community enjoying the trail!

Day #266- A-Choo!

I had a tough time finding goldenrod atop the mountain that hadn't partially succumbed to cool temperatures. This was one lovely yellow sprig! (Tissues, please!)

Day #265- Rockpile

Okay, so technically this isn't a "rockpile", but a cairn. We got some light hiking in this weekend too where we viewed this and other cairns. Cairns along hiking trails are often maintained by groups of hikers adding a stone when they pass. Building cairns along trails is quite popular. It’s also common for hikers to add a stone to the top of the cairn as he/she passes by. Looks like quite a few people have passed by here!

Day #264- Schooners

More from the weekend getaway- these schooners have made their home here for decades. In the summer they go out on sails for a week at a time. One of these days I'll cross a week-long sail off the bucket list!
