Road Tripper Part 3 and Art

I'll start again today with some art. I have a page for Rosie's circle theme at Art Journal Journey.
We have a saying here in the US (and maybe this phrase is used elsewhere too) that goes, "What goes around, comes around."
So I used that saying as the start for my circle page. I added to it some die cuts, punched and painted circles, some doodling, and a few stickers too. I love that I had some circle letter stickers.
So today was Sunday and it started off as a gorgeous day. Now the clouds have come back and they are saying rain and colder temperatures for the next 2 days-again. But I have a few more photos from my road trip to Maine last week. It was a day when the sun was mostly out, although we did get a little bit of a shower in the afternoon.
South of Rockland I decided to take a little detour out to Pemaquid Point. I had never been there and wanted to see what it was like.
There was a lighthouse there.
 We climbed the lighthouse and I took this photo of the ocean through the glass light at the top.
 And this window was near the top.
The stairs were pretty narrow and winding. It might have been tough to go up them on a dark night carrying an oil lamp.
 This sign was on the fence around the lighthouse.

 This was the little shed where they stored the oil for the lantern at the top of the lighthouse.
 I liked this view in one of the little gardens around the lighthouse.

It was a nice little stop on our way home.
So my new week starts off by heading into Boston in the morning as my husband has a check up with his surgeon.  We need to leave at 4:30 in the morning so we can be there for 7. Its going to be a busy start.
Hope you don't have to rush off quite so early in the morning and have a good start to your week too.
