Lighthouse

I've always liked lighthouses and also foghorns.
When I think of foghorns, I cannot help but recall a delightful short story by Ray Bradbury called simply: "The Foghorn"
It's very short, but really wonderful. I read it first in second or third grade, and cherish it to this day 60 years later.
Look into it, and read it!

I also love lighthouses. I use them often in my videos to symbolize hope and direction. Yours are particularly impressive. Greta work as always!!!

Like everything you do, these are delightful. Looking at some of these and thinking on other work you do, the thought came that these look like wedding cakes. You'd be one hell of cake decorator. I've wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse, being so close to the ocean, with all that water, that temperamental power and the storm delivered treasures he offers up at times. Like you with "The Foghorn", which I will look into, I have a favorite childhood story called "Keiko's Bubble", which some time ago I managed to track down a copy of it. The bubble is a glass float that attaches to a fishing net. Wanting a doll, but instead given the bubble to her by her father, Keiko in turn gives the bubble to her father for his net. The story is about the little girl learning what luck the bubble brings to her father's fishing. When I lived on the beach, I came across such a bubble, a large one still wrapped in the netting. I think it's in my mom's attic. Hope it is anyway so that I might have it back someday.

Thanks again for the encouraging words. I hope that it's a while until you get the bubble back. Mom's are priceless.
Mine just turned 89. She has Altzheimer's, but still has cogent moments.

@@jmarmaro You're welcome. I find myself in awe and admiration for what you share with us. I'm just a fan. Thank you also for the hope, however my mom is already gone. She died in the spring of that year just short of 88. My not so little brother has the house now and keeps the doors locked against the rest of us as he attempts steal it from his siblings. The whole sordid mess is in litigation, hopefully ending this year. With any luck I will get the bubble back when the wrangling has been put to rest. I'm sorry about your mom. That must really hurt to have her in body, but not in what makes her uniquely her. I had come across something recently that seems to repair the condition. It's not a medication. If I find it I will send it your way for consideration. I also have some comments you made a while I ago that I mean to address as they are worthy of interaction, the one about puzzles and the one about sci fi, your daughter, and Zenna Henderson. I didn't blow you off. My excuse is that the holidays got in the way....and I'm sticking to it. LOL Lately I have been feeling swamped.

I found the story. There is a enjoyable reading of it to be found here on RUclips. In it, I found that I can relate to the story. It's the story of the longing for your Twin Soul, the search for "The Other", The One. Like the Beast, you find facsimiles that end in disaster. Often, this happens even if you do find your Twin for one reason or another. In a similar vein, Shel Silverstein's "The Missing Piece" is a tale of searching for that Piece only to find that to truly be happy in yourself that you don't need it.

Glad you found the story. If you haven't read much Bradbury, you are in for a treat. Dozens of his stories are excellent.
As for The Foghorn, the pathos moved me deeply, even in the third grade or so.
Try reading "The Man".

Wow, these are amazingly detailed & who doesn't love lighthouses. Jeff if you have more images, please do a part 2 as these are some of your coolest Ai . Hey kudos to Miss Lynn's comment for mentioning Bradbury's The Lighthouse, one great tale & the film Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is such a classic monster flick based on Rays tale & who better to do that than his old friend Ray H.

Another one on the way. Different a bit. Hope that you enjoy it.
