Two wet leaves on gravel. Chestnut Hill, Tennessee.
A close-up of wet gravel with a red leaf and a yellow leaf. The stem of the red leaf is leading to the left, and the yellow leaf, which is a bit smaller, is centered almost perfectly on top of the red leaf, but in the opposite direction. Everything is glossy because it's wet.

The Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, Newport, Oregon, was built in 1871. This was one of five lighthouses I saw on my redwoods and coast trip last September.
A picture of a two-story white building with a lighthouse cupola on the top. It has a red roof with two chimneys and green shutters on the seven front windows. There is a fancy but small porch with roof and decorations. Behind and to the right of the lighthouse building is a taller tower of metal with the staircase showing. The left, front, and right sides of the picture have green bushes.
