Well, today just happens to be Valentine's day, and I thought it would be fitting to post at least one word about love, right? I don't want to be a thief, so the picture on the left is a fabulous photo by RafiMI. I got the other one off of a Google search, so I don't exactly have a verifiable source. Anyway, happy Valentine's day!

obeliscolychny: a lighthouse

Ahh. I love the ocean. I've written so many poems about it, it's not even funny. This lovely picture is of the Point Arena lighthouse. It's one of the many in California. Actually, my family stayed there overnight once last summer. We stayed in one of the little itty bitty cabins you can barely see on the right of the lighthouse. It was so breathtaking. I miss living by the ocean :(

So, yup. Prompt: the ocean compelled her to... (so, base a story or poem off of that. or other type of creative writing. heck, make a scrap books page, if you want!)
