Walking back to our car from Grandview Nature Preserve, Hampton
And now my Willy Nilly's which will be about the Grandview Nature Preserve.
1)
So obviously this marker is not located where the ruins are. I had forgotten about the old lighthouse being at the preserve. Some of you might remember that the preserve is one of our favorite spots when we go to Hampton. So I just researched the old lighthouse and found THIS ...in all our visits to the preserve, we walk the beach but I guess not far enough down. Next time I'm on a mission to find it, and like one of the reviewers mentioned, right after a storm!
2)
A random bouquet of flowers I found at the preserve. We were there over Memorial weekend so the red/white/blue bow makes sense.

This is our favorite spot for our crab dinner when we get to Hampton. You can check out last year's dinner HERE

I think this beach is so picturesque. You find these weathered stumps everywhere along the beach. Someone told me it's bits of old piers from back when the lighthouse was still standing. Some look like Cypress knees so I'm not really sure. There is no swimming at this beach because of all these jagged stumps but I have seen people swim there...which I totally wouldn't recommend.
5)
Some of the pretty grasses that grow here, but keep out!
That's it for me this week! Now it is your turn...Post 5 randoms, anything you want, link up and visit others! Have fun and have a super weekend!

What a beautiful sky!
ReplyDeleteFabulous place!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteA great trip to a wonderful place!
ReplyDeleteTotally looks/sounds like a good time to me. I really like those stumps...whatever they are.
ReplyDeleteYou've given me a new view this morning . . i like how the service of the light house, along with the good times, great views, ans artists continue to be honored . . that's something i don't get to hear much of lately - I mean honoring the good . . . . thank you
ReplyDeleteIn all the years I lived nearby, I never went to this beach, and I had never heard of the lighthouse, which has a very romantic and interesting history! What a shame there is only ruins now. I hope you are able to find them whenever you return. Great post! Some wonderful photo, Tanya. Really whetted my appetite to be back there, exploring.... :-)
ReplyDeleteI especially like the beach with pieces of old docks, a wonderful place, beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteA nice walk, even witout the lighthouse...
ReplyDeleteI haven't managed today to write a post, will back next friday.
To yor question from last week: the name August Dembroski sounds for me more like Polish (or, maybe, Ukrainian) than typically Russian, it would be interesting, exactly where your ancestors came from.
Have a great weekend
love the first shot and those old driftwoody stumps. :)
ReplyDeleteThe layout of those stumps does suggest a pier foundation. Very pretty area.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing these on one of my visits many moons ago.
ReplyDeleteThe pier relics are so neat. They make the beach shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I would love to see some photos of Joshua Tree or 29 Palms from the 80's!!
ReplyDeleteThe first shot is gorgeous! Love the old stumps!
ReplyDeleteThat weathered stump looks like an arresting sculpture, doesn't it?
