Random thoughts from an older perspective, writing, politics, spirituality, climate change, movies,knitting, writing, books, refinishing furniture, getting off the grid, writing, plotting and planning an organic garden, writing. I MUST STAY DRUNK ON WRITING SO REALITY DOES NOT DESTROY ME.
Irish by birth, Newfoundlandler by avocation - I live here 80% of the time. The other 20% is spent where the wind blows me. I think random thoughts on an even more random universe. Elevated, exhilarated and exalted by the fact I am living in this day and age. I've come all the way from hand-cranked calculators in an endless room of clerical drones to a flat monitored multi-gigabyted home office where the work comes to me. How absolutely cool is that???

It's certainly a lovely spot. I note similarities with the Michigan U.P. - only salt water rather than the fresh of Lake Superior.
I do hope we've solved your SC access problems.
RJA:
And Lake Superior is wonderful also, spent some time there on the Ontario side, it often looks like the ocean with the wild water.
Yes I now accessed your blog, wonder why I'm on the evil-doer list?

wow, really?
I thought my home of Cape Cod would be number one with the National Seashore.
I hope all those visitors do not spoil it!
I'm on my way. Meet me at your mailbox. I can stay just a month or two.
better duck and cover - the tourists will soon arrive in droves!
What Grannymar said! Once a place becomes the in destination, the tourist hordes can be a pain in the neck. At least the sunbathers will go somewhere else.
Looks delightful, WWW! And so peaceful. These days, for us, anywhere that other people don't go is "the best place." Most of the better looking places of this sort have changed, and become nasty tourist traps, but there are a few well-kept secrets, surprisingly enough even in these parts.
The National Geographic ought to know better than to give your secret away. Shame on 'em!
WAW, you are one lucky lady!
Oh fine, just fine, now you can say good bye to your lovely place. Tourists can sure mess up things in a hurry.
Wait does anyone read NG anymore? There is a sliver of hope yet...
Your photos have long convinced me of this. Great to have National Geographic confirm it, though! And the photo above has a view I don't remember seeing before.
All:
Yes we are a little nervous of marauding hoards of tourists demanding Disneyland North!

I took this standing in my garden looking right (East towards Galway) and took the pic for the child (now grandmother herself) who was raised in my house and now lives in Connecticut and is a friend on FB. Small world department...
