Anyone else counting down to summer? 🙋‍♀️ The good news is that you don't have to wait for summer to visit Rose Island Lighthouse! The Newport Jamestown ferry season starts May 17, which coincidentally is also my birthday. I won't be in Newps to take advantage, but I'll still count it as a birthday bonus.

I was lucky enough to have a perfect cotton candy sunset on my one and only visit to Fort Pickering. Such a perfect little light. Have you visited?

Which Lighthouse Wednesday! I've always thought this light was just the perfect quintessential lighthouse with keeper's house. I love the red banding and picket fence.

Do you recognize this light? Hints: It's in Connecticut and was recently restored.

Black Rock had an osprey nest on top 3 springs in a row a few years ago when I lived nearby. Anyone visited recently and know if the tradition continues?

Lighthouse at the end of the road on a dramatic, rocky coastline with no nearby neighbors? I'll take it.

Actually, just kidding. We all love how epic you are, Maine. Pemaquid Point never disappoints. Do you have a favorite Maine lighthouse? Let me know which one in the comments!

There are so many things to love about this lighthouse. The shape, the color, the location...I haven't visited that many square tower lights, but I love them. Do you have a favorite lighthouse style or feature?

Which Lighthouse Wednesday! I love this iconic lighthouse. If you've been there, you know how awesome the feeling is driving over the bridges and seeing this tall light on the horizon. The long exaggerated beach makes it even more epic.

Do you recognize this light?

One of those lights I need to get better pics of. When I lived in Rhode Island, I didn't have a drone. A great excuse to visit all my favorite places again! It can also be fun to revisit locations and see how things change. Do you have any lighthouses on your list you hope to visit again?

Happy Saturday! Maybe I'll start theming Saturday to lighthouses that start with an S... Squirrel Point, Sakonnet, Sankaty, Seguin, Spring Point, Stratford, Stamford, Stonington, Saugerties... Can you think of any more? I'm obviously most familiar with New England lighthouses 🙈

I'm not gonna lie... even though we checked the tide charts multiple times before crossing, I was still a little anxious to get back on time.

The short trek consisted of an iron staircase down, crossing a pebble beach, an iron staircase up, crossing a rickety wooden bridge, short hike through some trees, another iron staircase down, and then trekking through the seaweed-covered rocks.

Would I do it again? 100%. Would you risk high tide to visit the lighthouse?

This photo makes Sleepy Hollow Light seem like it's in a rainforest 😂 I've visited this light probably 10 times and one of those visits was very foggy. It was one of those odd, super bright foggy mornings and everything seemed to glow. Have you seen a foggy day like that? Foggy but sunglasses required 😎

Did you know that the light at Fort Point in Stockton Springs is the first established river light in Maine? It was established in 1836.

The current tower dates to 1857, and the pyramidal fog signal with a 1,200-pound cast iron bell dates to 1890. Today, the light is surrounded by a 120-acre park. It's a great place for a picnic or to just enjoy a sunny afternoon.
