new england lighthouse – The Adventures of Shadow and Wilma

If you regularly follow my blog, and the weekly/video photo I would recommend skipping on to paragraph three, specific to this week’s video/photo. I have decided to add a weekly video/photo section to my blog. This blog will display a video or photo, usually highlighting an Adventure, while I might also sneak in some that are humorous, adorable, or just other fun dog moments.

So if you have followed my blog from the beginning you will know that I adopted Shadow as a puppy, and about a year later adopted Buster as a puppy. We had many wonderful years together before experiencing the devastating loss of Buster at just seven. It took a long time for our hearts to heal, but almost a year later we welcomed little Wilma into our world.

Today’s feature is a photograph of Shadow and Wilma at the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, taken last March, in Bristol, Maine. This is definitely one of my favorite lighthouse poses of Shadow and Wilma, their ears blowing adorably in the wind. We were quite pleased to enjoy this gorgeous location in the off-season, few other visitors in sight.

Today we Adventured to the Highland Lighthouse in North Truro, Massachusetts, part of Cape Cod. The Highland Lighthouse, which is also referred to as Cape Cod Light, is an active lighthouse and is the oldest and tallest lighthouse in Cape Cod. It was initially built in 1797, however was built again in 1831 and 1857. In season there are tours available and a gift shop.

We had a magnificent Adventure to the Highland Lighthouse on a dreary spring day. This Lighthouse does not disappoint as the view is almost immediately stunning! We had visited previously about three years ago with Shadow, Buster, and my Mom. Today’s Adventure began by walking down the path toward the Lighthouse. It was raining and we were pleased to see few other visitors. We arrived at the Lighthouse to take in the view, and then looped around and past checking out the other side. The path ended at a deck-like area with views of the ocean. Both Shadow and Wilma enjoyed some rolls in the grass and appeared pleased with this special location. We took our time, noticing the little details, including some budding branches along the path. The interesting twist to the Highland Lighthouse is that it is surrounded by a golf course requiring that you stay only on the assigned trail. We were glad that there were no golf balls flying over our heads, so that we could concentrate on the Lighthouse. The Highland Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful Lighthouses I have ever seen. Definitely do not miss it if you are in Cape Cod (Rating: 5).
