Today I went back to the lighthouse. Last time I visited it was so mysterious and spooky. This experience was quite the opposite. Apparently my mom and I aren't the only ones who know about the lighthouse. There were throngs of people entering the lighthouse. Herding through the door, up the stairs, down the stars, out the door. The lighthouse looked nothing like it did previously. I was disappointed. I was also not able to get any good pictures of my outfit because there were people all around me. For example there was a great picture of me on a windowsill, however there was a fairly heavy set woman in a proportionally small bikini behind me. Didn't really take me back in time like I intended.

I ended up taking most of my pictures outside on the beach instead and they ended up pretty good. I love beach lighting. It is always the best.

I love this picture of the watch. I tried to take a picture that showed off my sparkly nail polish and the necklace and this is the result I got. I personally love it!

Good night! which put the candle out?

A jealous zephyr, not a doubt.

Ah! friend, you little knew

How long at that celestial wick

The angels labored diligent;

Extinguished, now, for you!

It might have been the lighthouse spark

Some sailor, rowing in the dark,

Had importuned to see!

It might have been the waning lamp

That lit the drummer from the camp

To purer reveille!

So today my family and I went to the beach again, this time to Great Point. I love that beach because you get to drive your car right on the beach and there is a beautiful lighthouse. I had the best time at the beach. So many fun mini adventures!

The first thing I did was stalk a seal for about 15 minutes and take way too many pictures of it. I have about 30 pictures of this one seal! It reminds me of my dog. I wish I could have a seal as a pet.

The second adventure was the lighthouse. As I said, one of my favorite features of the Great Point is the lighthouse. However, my mother (the photographer) and I were surprised to find it open, so naturally, we explored it (and took amazing picture). It was so spooky inside. It's never open so it looked so old and abandoned. It was slightly romantic, in an erie way, and I wish I wore one of my vintage dresses there. Here's some pictures...

My mom and I were so enchanted by the lighthouse that we were oblivious to the ongoings outside. There was actually a major storm a brewing and people were being told to leave the beach.  We made it out fine and reunited with the rest of the family. While escaping the storm in the car my dad turned on movie music, which happened to be from Lord of the Rings. It was intense. Just like the sky.

P.S. I am very excited to announce that yesterday's outfit photo was admitted to the Chictopia style gallery. This is my first time and I am sooooooo excited. Hopefully there's more to come.

Today is the second day of my Nantucket vacation. Yesterday was chaotic, driving 4 hours from Connecticut to Cape Cod, then taking a ferry to the island. I am really excited about all the photos I am taking of the trip, both digital and film. I actually brought my Diana F+ (from Lomography) and I'm going to end up with some (hopefully) amazing pictures to show you guys. I took some pictures today! Here they are...

There's my sister. She's wearing my necklace. Anyways, when we were on the beach she was heavily hit on by a slightly creepy 30 year old man from Montenegro (by the way, she's 19, just a year older than me). He asked why we were not swimming. She responded that the water was too rough (it was crazy, someone was just saved about 20 minutes before). He did not speak a lot of English so he was confused what rough meant. 10 minutes later, after she made many strange hand movements, and he asked her three times "Sister shy?" (I responded "yes, I am shy", but the real reason I wasn't talking to him much was because I wanted him to leave.) my dad came up to my sister and I and the Montenegro man fled. Fun story right?

Don't worry, there will be more beach pictures soon (and other outfits as well)...
