On our way to the North Head Lighthouse we stopped at a scenic lookout. We were able to get a small glimpse of the lighthouse from here. We also read about the tragic history for ships in this area.
Three shipwrecks in one week in 1853.
It was an easy walk from the parking area to the lighthouse.
Remember on your walk away from your destination that it is good to look back and get yet another view.
Yesterday was a very busy day around this old house. Is anyone else surprised that it is Thursday already? I’m elbow deep in ripe pears trying to get creative. Today I’ll be working on pear sauce. I finished off my smirntopf with a few cups of diced pears. My jar is full so now we just wait until Christmas for the results!
Happy Thursday everyone!

Your “Schmirntopf” looks fabulous Ellen. I just have to add a few plums yet and then my “Rumtopf” is done as well.
The lighthouse pictures are beautiful. There’s something about lighthouses that is so photo worthy…..maybe it’s because they are always next to the beautiful ocean?
I love looking at these lighthouses, Ellen! I have only seen one in person in my life, and I remember going absolutely bonkers with delight!!! I haven’t actually had a chance to get right up ON one, though, yet. My day is coming! These are beautiful pictures!!!
Beautiful!
Another lovely lighthouse in an equally lovely setting. So different from our coast line. Our cliffs are all red sandstone. Your Schmirntopf looks so interesting – I’d love to try some.
You sure have us all curious about your ‘smirntopf’. We might all be coming by to dip in come Christmas time! Great lighthouse pic’s.
I am coming for a sip…soon as that jar is cracked open. Those vacation photos are so amazing. I want to go…now.
Awesome Loghthouse!
