I thought I should fill up the car today which meant a trip to Crescent City, CA. There are not a lot of gas stations along the coast, so you have to pay attention to that little gauge. Crescent City has two lighthouses, both worthy of exploration. Of course, we saw one while we had lunch the other day, but wanted a closer look.
Many yards in Crescent City had several clusters of these pink flowers.16 inches tall with red stems. It is nice to see so much color in the fall.
Amaryllis belladonna,
known as "Naked Ladies" because the flowers bloom before the leaves
develop.
The Point St. George Reef Lighthouse is really too far out for a good picture. But the rocky coast framed it nicely.
I think the Battery Point Lighthouse is best viewed from the north. It was close enough to low tide that we walked out to the lighthouse. It is a private residence that allows tours, but, unfortunately, it was closed for the day, so we were not able to go inside. We did, however, climb all over the grounds. After evaluating all of our pictures, we decided we had our best shots from the shoreline after all.
