From the Archives: Plum Beach Lighthouse

I was doing some work in my archives and image catalogs, and I came across some great shots from a day out on the water last summer.  I was heading back from the South County 12 Meter Regatta off of Narragansett Beach in late summer and snapped a couple of shots of Plum Beach Light!  I remember when Friends of Plum Beach Lighthousestarted fundraising to give this light a facelift in 2003.

As we waited for warmer spring weather to roll in, I was caught up in multiple projects. Of course none of them involved shooting and before I knew it, it had been about 2 weeks...
